Attachment 13312
We used to have clipboards and keep a running tally of out-of-province/state license plates on cars [[Canadian Provinces, US States, Mexican States) when driving across Canada and The USA. We would bet on which out-of-area state or province would have the most by the end of the day. We did the same with foreign car makes. During the early '50s there were a LOT fewer foreign cars on the road in Canada and USA. Some British, French, German, Swedish, and a few Japanese was all. So, there were few enough to tally all of them. Each person would choose a foreign make to end up with the highest count. It was never sure which one it would be in those ancient days.
We also used to play "The License Plate Initials Game" - using 2 letters as the initials of famous people. The easiest was ANY celebrity/famous person being eligible. Harder games were only one category, such as actors, singers, sports players, or even individual sports [[e.g. only hockey or only baseball players, or only fictional characters). Naturally, pairs with an "X", "Z", or "Q" were quite difficult. You had to know your Xaviers, Zenons, Quinlans, etc. to be able to compete. :cool:
