Someone explain this to me

| | Comments (1) |
In June of 2007, I saw a phrase on a license plate frame on the back of a white SUV, arranged like so:


I KNEW THEY WERE LESBIANS

[license plate goes here]

BEFORE I KNEW THEY WERE MIDGETS


Its oddness is delicious. It is a veritable fondue of strange.

Who did the knowing? Who were these lesbian midgets? Was this something to be proud of, some sort of mutant super gaydar that is faster than the visual identification of the height-challenged? And why a license plate frame? Why not a tee-shirt, or a billboard?

A Google search for the phrase turns up predictably interesting results, but not for the anything that even remotely resembles the exact wording, and nothing at all to explain why someone would put it around their license plate.

Hand to something-worth-swearing-by, I truly saw this. The reason I know exactly when I saw it is because I blogged about it on my old blog, and that post is still moldering in the archive. I never got any answers back then, so when the phrase somewhat randomly popped out of my memory this afternoon I thought I'd post it again for you fine people.

Theories, anyone?

I've got no theories, I'm just enjoying the strange high-larity of it.

Thanks for the share -- I've got a few friends who will appreciate my passing it on!
