I saw a personalized plate and I'm not seeing the significance/meaning of the message. Perhaps it's obvious and I'm just not seeing it but I thought I'd ask if anyone else gets it...
The plate said: JH HELL
The only thought I had was that maybe it was a Junior High school teacher's car. ;)

Or, maybe someone with those initials is from this one strangely named town over here in Michigan? :basic05

Maybe that's his/her name?
I did a mini-devotional thing back in the day about mixed messages, based on a local plate that said "LV LIFE". Love life? Live life? How's your love life? Leave life? Las Vegas Life?
My point was that sometimes the message we THINK we're sending isn't the message people are "getting" at all.

I do -- so I can remember the plate number. Mine is: AZ VUE. (I live in AZ, I drive a Saturn Vue.)
When I had an Acura, my plate was AKARRA. I thought that was kind of cute.
My all-time favorite though, was something I saw on a pickup truck. Part of the phrase was engraved on the bumper on either side of the license plate. I'll put the "bumper" parts in parentheses, and the part in the middle is what was on the plate.
(And miles) 2 GO B4 I (sleep)
That's from my favorite poem, Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. Man, I wish I had come up with that license plate!

I'd sure buy that explanation. I knew a JH principal who used to say that in some state they mixed the psychological profiles of a hundred diagnosed schizophrenics and a hundred JH kids and no one could tell the difference.

I knew a guy who was in his third marriage. His license plate said, 3ZIT4ME. At first I thought the car belonged to a dermatologist.

In 1995 I moved to Bedford, Texas. Came back to Michigan in 1999 - Last year I got a plate that says... BED 4312 Funny ~ I lived in Bedford - and my birthday is March 12!
I had wanted a fancy plate that would have cost me an additional $5.00 above the cost, when I seen the plate she would give the next person...
I asked the lady if I could have that plate, and she said yes! I'll have a hard time forgetting my plate number. Even though I have a real good "forgettor". LOL

My brother's first vanity plate was simply "ABCDE" - for daughters Amber, Britney, Cayla, Duane (him) and Evie (Duane's wife).
His second vanity plate said, "DA5OFUS".
When one daughter left for college, he got one that said, "2on1away".
When the second went to college, he got "1on2away".
Finally, when all three had gone to college, he got "Inngover". (Inning over)
He says that only people who were familiar with his previous three plates understand without explanation.
In Virginia vanity plates can be ordered with any combination of numerals and letters up to eight characters.

I googled "JH Hell." The first post on the list was NazNet, but there were several other lists. One is a science project that is sponsored by the U.S. Government. The name of the project is "JH Hell."

You're not going to give us a hint as to what this project is about, Dave? Do we have to do our own googling [sounds nearly like one is oogling! :eek:], or didn't they explain at all what it was about? :cool:
