The real Assman was denied his personalized license plate


In another example of life imitating Seinfeld, Melville, Saskatchewan citizen Dave Assman (pronounced Oss-men) applied for a personalized license plate of his last name but the Saskatchewan Government Insurance (like the DMV) put the kibbosh on the request and also his appeal. So Assman created a large decal inspired by the Saskatchewan plate design and slapped it on the rear end (ahem) of his truck. Based on the SGI’s Twitter post below, they seem to be ok with that.


“It’s just a name and censorship should be out of the window…” Assman said. “It upsets me, but I’m not one of those guys to take offence to it.”
