but they say put it on clean plates and I haven't had my car washed in what feels like that long

They say that but I've never cleaned my plates before putting on the new sticker and I've never had a problem. (Usually I do carry the stickers around for a long time thinking "I have to clean my plate first" though.)

Registration stickers don't go on plates in Texas. They go on the winshield. Which I probably never clean.

I wash just the corner the sticker goes. I'm trying to recall if it was here, NC or NM that helpfully provided a little alcohol wipe with the new sticker. If it was here, they don't do that anymore.

I usually spit on my finger and wipe the plate with it, and then clean it off with a napkin.

If I plan ahead, I take a bottle of Windex to the car to do the cleaning. But that's more work....

On my car, I have a registration sticker on my license plate; an inspection sticker on one side of my windshield, and a parking sticker in a prescribed spot on the other side of my windshield. There is something about liberal states and excessive stickers on cars, have you noticed?

I don't need french fries. I don't need french fries.

I don't need french fries. I don't need french fries

You can change the emphasis if it helps.

I don't need french fries. Which leaves open steak fries, waffle fries, home fries and shoestring fries.

The thing is, I'm not actually hungry. I just can't stop making grabby-hands at the idea of greasy, salty goodness. It doesn't help that I'm bored, and getting french fries would give me something to do.
