Cool. Simple, but fun.
I should have got that one... but I didn't! Well done!
Very nice! I thought it was fairly straight forward but I liked it.
Of course!
I had:
I cross 'em 'n I Z
It all made sense until the last letter. I like it!

How do you know he's not an ophthalmologist?
It was confusing. I think it was stupid. MN doesn't sound like min. Whatever.

No Kkats....cos it's 'mun' not 'min' the letter are blended together like 'mn' or as i aid 'mun'

Good one! I couldn't get past ex-man (hence drag Queen cross dresser etc)

i dont know y but i found tht to be way 2 easy
I actually got this one so i liked it! Great job!
But the real question is, how many people screwed up their eyes staring at that license plate trying to figure it out? Nice teaser.
haha took me a while but i got it!
I thought it was great.
oops
Fun! I figured it out too quickly though...probably because I have an appointment with one tomorrow!
I knew it had to be something simple like that, but I couldn't quite get it. Pretty good teaser.
I didn't get this one! That was a good one though. Had a taken sometime I might have gotten it. Thanks for a fun rebus! I love when a rebus is really a rebus.

It goes like this:
I X M N IZ
eye ex em en eyes
( I examine eyes)
All the letters are pronounced phonetically except the last 2.
I X M N IZ
eye ex em en eyes
( I examine eyes)
All the letters are pronounced phonetically except the last 2.
BTW Webster's dictionary defines optometry as the health-care profession concerned especially with examining the eye for defects and faults of refraction, while opthalmology is a branch of medical science dealing with the structure, functions, and diseases of the eye, so optometrist is more accurate than opthalmologist.
Don't think so much. It is a cute puzzle. Hard but, cute.
Could be an orthopedic doctor.
I examine knees
I examine knees
wow i actually got it i just thought it was an eye doctor because there weren't any numbers on the plate and he was trying to see if you could read it. maybe i'm just crazy but it worked
Makes me think of the old Bumper Stumpers game show... Loved it! Keep 'em coming!
Ah, Bumper Stumpers. Easy-peasy.
Easy, but fun...
Easy and fun.
Too easy but fun!!

I love looking at license plates and try to figure out what they are saying. This was an easy one, but really fun!
nice teaser!!!!!...the other day my dad pointed out a R L TER plate(something like that)...took me too long to figure out that it was REALTOR!!!!!
I said opthamologist ,but I still give myself some credit 'cause I did know it said I examine eyes Good one
Can't figure it out. I thought it was an anagram or an acronym of something. Very good teaser!
Quick and easy.
Hahaha, good one!
In town realtor has CME2SEL, and since I was in the busy of licensing cars I got really good at reading prestiege plates. Good one and cute.
I just heard this one on Country 102.5
Easy and fun! Good one!
honestly how are we supposed to know what his occupation was. The license plate doesn't always, or rarely ever tell somebodies occupation. But still cool... i guess
I love figuring out lisence plates. Took a while to get this one, but fun!!
I thought it was web designer, as that's what I do!
Read the question carefully:
"While riding in the car I saw a license plate that read like this:
IXMNIZ
What occupation did the man in the car have?"
The license plate might have been on the ground or on a motorcycle or anything! The person in the car is ME! (Provided you're a man of course).
So the answer is whatever job you do!
Or at least, I thought it was a trick question.

I like figuring out license plates, too, and this was a good one! Thanks for posting!
Always love the little wave of relief/satisfaction when I figure it out! Thanks! Fun, fun!
Short and sweet. I agree with Maggie!
Bit of a stretch there, davincigame, but since your comment was 9 years ago, I doubt you'll see this one! lol
Not a bad teaser. Not great, but good.
