Some Florida Gator fans are trying to get an official Gators license plate in Georgia.  This doesn’t site well with Georgia Senate President pro tem Eric Johnson, who penned this playful letter to the state’s Revenue Commissioner:

Dear Commissioner Graham:

This is absolutely unacceptable for our state!

A Gator tag will cause accidents. Gator fans cannot drive or read traffic signs. A car up on blocks cannot move. And it will lower our quality of life. In fact, my children used to have nightmares because we lived dangerously close to the state of Florida.

If state law allows this to occur then we need to change the law. Please delay any approval until the next session when we can amend the law to ban any tag for a university with more national championships than the average IQ of their alumni. A delay in processing their application should not require much of an effort since they cannot write either.

If it takes a 1,000 signatures to create a tag, can we have a regulation that 1,000 e-mails AGAINST a proposed tag kills it? If you agree, please count this as e-mail # 1…..

Please keep me informed as to the progress of this outrage. I am counting on the GEORGIA Department of Revenue to handle it appropriately. (wink-wink)

Sen. Eric Johnson

Cars on blocks.  Lowering the standard of living.  Causing accidents.  All good - and probably true - stuff.  Just think how he would react if fans tried to get a Crimson Tide plate in Georgia!
