Michael,
I think PANZER would offend not nearly so much as it would merely mystify
--especially mounted on a Chebby. However, I know a woman whose last name
is Panzer, and she probably would like that plate if you decide not to use
it :)
But Mike, you assert "I sure as hell won't go out of my way *not* to
offend", but I doubt you _really_ mean it the way it sounds. "Political
correctness" has been promoted with excessive (and sometimes mind-numbing)
zeal, but conversely the flaunting of "political _in_correctness" is often
merely to use a new-fangled phrase as a cover for old-fashioned
"boorishness". That's never been in high regard, and I doubt it would
describe you. IMO, it's got little or nothin' to do with eatin', drinkin'
or letchin'--all of which I have practiced for years --and will continue to
do so 'till I get it right. :)
