Nate: you left out the other fun part of Kansas ham plates. All Kansas plates have a sticker that identifies the county where it was issued except for ham plates. We have a saying in ks, that there are only two types of hams with call letter plates in KS. Those that have already been pulled over for not having a county sticker and those that will be pulled over for not having a county sticker.
