An Elderly Florida Woman Was Issued A License Plate That Reads SQZ A55 And Somehow She’s Not Thrilled

I think if any of us has any hopes for the unchosen series of alphanumeric characters that appear on a state-issued license plate, that hope would be that, somehow, that string of characters would combine in such a way that whoever reads them would feel an urge to use their hands to grip and clench our buttocks, “squeezing” our “ass” as it were. I had long assumed this was a universal desire when it came to car license plates, but I just learned that there are some people who do not, in fact, appreciate a license plate that suggests such an activity. One such person is almost 77-year-old Pompano Beach resident Nancy Dello Stritto.

The Florida DMV saw fit to bestow upon Dello Stritto a license plate bearing the characters SQZ A55, which most people would glance at and read as “SQUEEZE ASS.” Florida’s typographic choices do provide a 5 that really does read like an “S.” Dello Stritto somehow was not delighted with the license plate, saying of the plate

“I don’t think a woman that a woman that lives in a senior community, that’s going to be 77 next month, will be driving around with what this plate has to say.”

I guess some people don’t want a blanket invitation to ass squeezing? Strange, but everyone is different, I suppose, and I have to respect that.

In talking with other members of her retirement community and her sons, there actually seems to be a lot of support for the SQZ A55 license plate, enough that Dello Stritto is at least considering giving the plate a try. She acknowledges that it may cause some perhaps unwanted attention, but notes

“I can handle it if I get a few honks here and there. Actually, being over 70, I might like a few honks.”

I know I’m being flippant here, but I hope everyone realizes there are no circumstances where a license plate should give anyone permission to touch another person’s body, in any context. We all get that, right? Good.

Interestingly, this is not the first time that Florida’s 5s looking like S-es and conspiring with As to form the word “ASS” has become a source of national tittering. Remember the ASS ORGY license plate from around 2005 or so?

Go Florida!

That was a real, officially-generated Florida license plate as well. In that case, the actual series of characters, A55 RGY, was assisted by the large orange in the center of the plate that resembled an “O,” making the whole plate read like a sexually-charged party that focused on the pleasures of the buttocks. That license plate was issued to a Lincoln owned by a software company, and aside from becoming an early internet meme, seems to have been in normal use otherwise.

I bring this up to encourage Ms.Dello Stritto to keep and use the SQZ A55 license plate with pride, knowing that she is continuing a Floridian tradition of accidentally comically ass-centric license plates, and in this day and age, I believe that is something worth celebrating.

Remember, any actual ass-squeezing are entirely at the discretion of Ms.Dello Stritto, at least on the receiving side. Any that she chooses to provide would require the full consent of both parties.
