How much do you know about Jimmy? There's probably something you don't know.

In my never ending thirst phor knowledge (or at least my never ending curiousity), I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this:
On the back cover of "Christmas Island," the license plate has the number 100,000 on it.
Does anyone know if it refers to anything, and if so, what???????
Thanks phrom your pal, Auntie

Auntie - I'm pretty sure that just represents the fact that Jimmy got the first license plate with that design....

Well now, that's a good question, too, CRC! We are just phull of questions, are we not? (Or maybe just phull of "it.")

If I'm recalling correctly, 100,000 is the approximate number of Manatees left in the wild. I may be off by a few...

Cougie, He's referring to his own birthday, December 25th, that's Mr Buffett's birthday, too.

I see what you're saying, Cougie. It's redundant. I've always wondered about that too.

On the back cover of "Christmas Island," the license plate has the number 100,000 on it.
That is for the 100,000 manatee saved!

*BEEP* Wrong answer!
Pretty tough to SAVE 100,000 manatee when only 2000 or less exist.
But welcome to the message board anyway!

Well of COURSE there can't be a license plate that is 000,001 because that is just 1, since the zeroes don't count! Just like 2001 is the first year of this millenium, is the second year of the Twenty Hundreds. Maybe he was hoping it would sell that many copies by his Mr Bubba's birthday, Mr Buffett's birthday too.
