need...more...storage

A story in the WSJ today said some U.S. states have started auctioning license plates as a way to generate income. This paragraph tickled me:

Other countries have already mined this vein, with big results. A businessman in Abu Dhabi bought a license plate with "1" at an auction for $14.3 million in 2008. Last year, in England, a retired businessman bought "1 RH"—his initials—for about $400,000. Hong Kong sold a plate that read "STORAGE" for $12,000.
