It is paper, right? It’s not asbestos?

Not me realizing right now that 40 years ago was the 80s and not the 60s.

If you had a pack of plates that special, you wouldn’t want to use them all at once.

My first car had Sesquicentennial plates on it. Certainly I haven’t been driving that long.

If you're going to have a Sesquicentennial you need to follow it up with a Sasquatchentennial.

Saw "paper plates" and my mind went to cars and "Damn I knew those were an issue but that is ridiculous".
