CM 43953 and CM 49335

I read a couple articles on how the human brain turns words into images and then into meanings. Studies had shown that people tend to read words in the form of a picture. If we could get the shape of a word right, most people could still get the meaning of the word, for example, we could get the meaning of the word "boat" even if it's incorrectly spelled as "baot", especially when the word was placed in a sentence related to fishing or vacation.

However, something quite bizarre happened to me last Sunday. I drove my motorcycle to Mercado de San Domingos to get some fresh vegetables and fruit. When I finished my shopping, I put the key into my motorcycle and tried to jump start the engine and go home. They key was in, but I couldn't turn it. I thought was that maybe some kids had put something into the lock. So I bent over and tried to blow the stuff out of the lock, if there was any. I tried again and it still didn't work. There were a couple other people on their motorcycles waiting to park in my parking space. I could feel the pressure from their eyes as if they were saying, "get the hell out of here, you stupid!" So I put the key in again and almost broke it into halves when turning it with all the energy and force I could find. My faces turned red and I was so mad with this stupid key that I must have swear to the machine. Then I realized that a small crowd had formed around me. I put up my hands as if I was about to surrender, and told the other girl on her motorcycle, "maybe you have to find another parking space, I couldn't start the engine." Just when I was about to call the mechanics at the garage, she said calmly, "why don't you try the other motorcycle?" She pointed to the motorcycle right next to mine.

All of a sudden I felt like being stuck by lighting. I drove a Honda ZX with the license plate CM 43953 on it. And for the 10-minute or so, I had been trying to switch o KYMCO motorcycle with the license plate CM 49335 on it. Oh, my God! That has to be one of the stupidest thing I had ever done.
