This might seem like Plate Overkill Week, but I simply couldn’t let this one go unmentioned.  Now, I know every state has specialty plates that range from environmental themes to education to specific professions and also schools.  Sometimes you’ll have a headscratcher such as how the heck Auburn alumni got a Georgia commemorative plate created here.  That’s akin to having Michigan approve an Ohio State alumni license plate.  I’m not sure how Auburn pulled that one off but kudos to them.

Anyway, I’ve seen many states do the Wildlife theme for those outdoors enthusiasts.  Heck, Louisiana’s tagline is “Sportsman’s Paradise”.  But the one I saw for South Carolina yesterday simply blows me away.  This isn’t even a southern stereotype thing; rather it encompasses anyone who might have one of those Big Mouth Billy Bass contraptions mounted on your wall or bumper stickers that proclaim “Born To Fish, Forced To Work” or “Women Love Me, Fish Fear Me”.

The question is, how in the heck did South Carolina approve a “Gone Fishin’” plate?  As you can see, the "Gone Fishin'" motto is on top, a fish is shown in the background and "South Carolina" is at the bottom.  Do they also have "Female Body Inspector" plates with the naked lady silhouette you see on trucker mudflaps?  Way to stay classy, South Carolina.
