A woman in Pompano Beach, Florida, was squeezed into shock when she opened her new license plate from the Florida DMV which appeared to have a saucy message.
The license plate number reads “SQZ A55,” and 76-year-old Nancy Dello Stritto noticed the darker side of the apparent mistake.
“I looked at it, and I said, ‘I don’t think so,’” Nancy told reporters.
“I don’t think a woman that lives in a senior community that’s going to be 77 years old next month will be driving around with what this plate has to say,” She added.
However, others think she should keep the license plate with at least 16 fellow residents in favor of it, she said. In the video below, Nancy is seen telling a man that the plate is “good for 10 years,” and he replies, “good.”
“I can handle it if I get a few honks here and there. Actually, being over 70, I might like a few honks,” Nancy also joked.

It remains unclear how the plate was issued. Florida license plates have been manufactured at a state prison in North Florida for nearly a century before being distributed through county agencies. Dello Stritto’s plate was mailed from the Broward County Property Tax Collector’s office.
CBS News Miami contacted the office regarding the issue. An office manager confirmed that Broward County will replace a plate deemed offensive for free at their Plantation office.
For now, Dello Stritto plans to keep the plate, though she intends to notify the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles about it.
“I’m resigned to it; maybe it was destined for it to be on my car,” she said, adding with a laugh, “I can handle it; maybe I’ll even get some honks.”
