Arriving just in time for a meeting yesterday, I took the last empty chair and had almost set my books down when a member of the group eagerly said, "You have a new license plate! Is that your license plate we saw out back?" I assured them that I do not have a new license plate. "Then that must be your husband's! We wondered if it was yours or if he is visiting us." Well, he does not have a new license plate.
"But who else's can it be?" someone asked. "It says Fr. Horn! It has to be your car." Hmm. How many ways can I say no? Neither of us would choose those words for a vanity plate. (I might, on the other hand, choose 127 BCP, but that's not likely, either.)
Finally, someone asked, "What does the car look like?" It was described as a Jeep-like vehicle, with bumper stickers all over. (That definitely does not describe my car.) "What sort of bumper stickers?" I asked. "Musical instruments." Well...aha!
Our church houses a branch of the university's music department. The car belongs to a French Horn player, evidently. Sure glad we cleared that up.
