Pure. Unfiltered. Comedy. Gold.

So it appears that some idiot in Washington D.C. thought he’s be clever and get a vanity license plate that reads “NO TAGS”.  Ha!  What a goof.  This guy….this guy right here.  You.  Ohhhh you so kray-zeeee!  What a knee slapper.  A great belly laugh was had by all.  Whoooo-weeeee!  Ha.  Hoo hoo, ha.  Sorry, this is just the height of hilarity, forgive me.  I’m having trouble…ha ha ha…compo-ha, composing myself.  What a hoot!

And it appears this idiot managed to rack up nearly $20,000 in tickets and fines because of it.  Danny White of Washington, D.C. did this as a JOKE people.  He’s a master comedian the likes of which we’ve never seen before.  NO TAGS???  Ah hahahahahahahah.  And the best part?  The BEST part?  D.C. police didn’t get the joke.  It’s a joke people, how didn’t you get the joke?  It’s chock full of jokey goodness.  Ranks right up there with Knock-Knock jokes and Why the chicken crossed the road.   Classic. Comedy. Gold.  Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Richard Pryor would have KILLED with material like this.

I’ll let Eric Pfeiffer of “The Sideshow” blog tell you more:

Washington, D.C. driver Danny White thought he had a really good idea for a joke. But the joke’s on him–to the tune of $20,000, reports local affiliate NBC4.

White’s prank started 25 years ago when he got a vanity license plate reading, “NO TAGS.” He told NBC4 that he was ”Just having fun!” and that ”D.C. don’t get the joke. They don’t get it.”

The issue? Each time a car without proper identification is cited for a violation, a DMV employee enters “NO TAGS” into their paperwork. Because White’s vanity plate is registered with the District of Columbia’s DMV, his name and vehicle appear in the computer’s system whenever a “NO TAGS” violation is entered. Notices for the fines are then mailed to White’s residence.

See there?  The joke is that it was a joke that the non-humor-enabled police and traffic violations computers didn’t get.  NO TAGS!  NO.  TAGS.   It practically writes itself.

I’m glad this moron got banged with $20k in fines.  This ass dripping also refuses to give up the tags, even if it does mean he’s got to lose time from work to go dispute these tickets every few months.  I don’t blame him.  When you write such a legendary piece of humor, you would be a fool to give it away all willy nilly.  No Tags.  HA!

I do have a few alternatives he could consider should he ever tire of fighting the man.  I know I’m not nearly as talented when it comes to humor as our dear Mr. White, but I’m going to give it a whirl anyhow:

Wouldn't this just liven up your daily commute? You'd think "What? This guy doesn't have any arms or legs?" What gives? How's he driving?

I'm sure the boys in blue would get a kick out of this one. Everyone knows donkeys are hilarious and when you give them a crippling soda addiction, look out! Hilarity will ensue.

What better way to show off your comedic chops than to proclaim how funny you were when you performed at the Policeman's ball.

Not so much hilarious, but it shows off the fact that you work on your phsyique. Guns, of course, areyour massive biceps, and Runner, you're a track star!

But sometimes, I don’t know, I think maybe it’s best just to leave comedy to those who actually do it for a living on stage and screen.  I know that if I were even a tenth as talented as Washington D.C.’s very own Mr. Danny White, I’d be tempted to show it off to the world on my license plate too.  In the event he ever has a change of heart, and gives up the dream of comedic vanity plate stardom, I humbly suggest he doesn’t give up on ALL vanity plates entirely…So I offer the following suggestion:

At the end of the day, isn't honesty still the best policy?
