I give up! Help!! (cross)

[Padgett2]

We saw a bumper sticker today that has us stumped. I know it must be something simple and we are just too dumb to guess.

1 Cross + 3 Nails = 4 GVN

I think we have the first part right, but what is GVN?

[fatmancomics]

"Given". As in the second part of forgiven.

[Padgett2]

OK. What then, is the VN part?

[Padgett2]

All right....I got it. GVN is just a short way of writing forGiVeN.

Right?

4gvn = forgiven - look at it like a license plate when people leave out vowels and use numbers to 'write' a word within the license plate.
