Woman says it's about soybeans; agency felt others would see it differently

DENVER - Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her love of tofu by picking the letters for her car's license plate.

But her tofu fondness ran into a snafu at the Division of Motor Vehicles, which blocked her plan because they thought the combination of letters could be interpreted as profane. Her suggestion for the plate on her Suzuki: "ILVTOFU."

Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch said the letters could be misinterpreted.

Coffman-Lee, 38, said tofu is a staple of her family's diet because they are vegan and that the DMV misinterpreted her message.

the word we have for how tofu always turns out is kandraavi (for English equivalent, "goshawful" works just fine).

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Agree. She is not the smartest tofu cookie in the veggie market

I have to side with the DMV on this one.
