Well if his last name is pronounced Oss men then put it on his plate that way. Would probably be safer anyway if someone were to try and look up his name and find where he lived should he get in some sort of road rage incident.

Assawoman is an area in Virginia as well as the sound that encompasses Virginia and Delaware. It is Indian.

Vanity plates are stupid and a waste of money anyways. People think they’re so clever and unique, and so they come up with a name. Well you end up having to abbreviate it, and on one understands them anyways.

Not only is it Assawoman but there is a Big Assawoman Bay and a Little Assawoman. I know because I had the pleasure of vacationing there with my youngest son who was 11 at the time. Do you know how hard it is to stop an 11 year old from repeatedly saying "Big Assawoman" and giggling every time?

"For Assman, his name carries a proud legacy. His great-grandfather, an Assman himself, would help other farmers during hard times."

Come on, Yahoo writer. We get it... calm down.

That was the best part of the Yahoo article. I wonder if the writer if the writer intended for it to be humorous.

My plate used to be POTCBP for Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl, had a few cops wondering if I was selling POT

Maybe the gentleman in question is a proctologist.
