Letter: Mixed message?

I pulled behind a Hummer at a traffic light today and, as if that weren’t bad enough, the vanity plate on this gas guzzler read “Hum This.”

In the world of bada-bing, this double entendre would seem almost fitting and no doubt earn the guffaws of appreciative cronies.

However, it was the chosen inscription on the bottom of the plate that provoked my doubletake: “Invest in Children.”

It did get me to wondering how much extra gas money one would have to invest in children if you simply chose a different vehicle.

As for the “Hum This” sentiment, perhaps the owner was referring to humming a lullaby.

Yeah, right!
