I saw a license plate in Dallas that said DUBYA 1-
it was all I could do to keep from keying the side of the large suv it was attached to.

7. Actually it doesn't, urban legend, but most people don't know this. Snopes link here
http://www.snopes.com/autos/grace/sugar.asp


Accordingly, the best way to gain revenge on someone through the "sugar in the gas tank" prank might be to simply play on the belief rather than the reality — just sprinkle a fair amount of sugar on the ground beneath the opening to the fuel tank of your victim's car and leave an empty sugar sack in a conspicious spot near the vehicle. Then sit back and watch your victim go wild trying to figure out how to deal with all that sugar he assumes is now in his gas tank.

17. Correct
For a comparison,pour some sugar in a glass of cold water.The sugar will just settle to the bottom and congeal.It will not dissolve very well in gas or water unless agitated vigorously.
Liquid corn syrup,on the other hand,works wonders.

2. OMG! That's sad. When 9-11 happened my husband worked
in North NJ with a guy who had a liscence plate that said "OSAMA 1".

He backed his car up to the garage and never drove it again- until he had a chance to get new plates.

8. It wasn't a short-bus painted up like a hummer was it?
Then again, most folks who ride the short-bus are actually pretty sweet and good-natured.

11. Well, it's a good thing you didn't, I suppose, but
your confession of really, really wanting to do it made me smile. Thanks!!

12. You've got to be kidding me. I wouldn't suggest keying anyone's car,
but sometimes you can't help but bump into those huge side mirrors of those big-ass SUVs in parking lots...

18. Bah, vandalism is never justified.
The owner will be punished enough having to watch NANCY PELOSI over Dubya's shoulder all throughout the SOTU speech.

19. I Would Certainly Hope That You Wouldn't Engage In Criminal Behavior And
damage to others property merely because they are politically different than you.

I'm glad you refrained from such an uncondonable act.

20. I keep a sheet of IMPEACH stickers
with me at all times for this sort of event. I then simply paste the label over the offending words. Most people do not ever look at anything and it can take a long time for that "fool" to notice that the words IMPEACH cover their idiocy.

My favorite was putting IMPEACH stickers all over the windows of the RNC in Amarillo Texas. That was worth the whole trip.

22. Consider. The license may have been ordered before the owner knew what a ass he is. nt
