Seen: One Prius, bearing the bumper sticker Renewable Energy IS National Security. Appropriate enough on a Prius, but not when it is being towed by two bedroom recreational vehicle.
Seen: Made in America, with Filipino Parts. Um. Oooh. Ones bumper is not an appropriate place to discuss the details of one's conception.
Seen: SHE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST SHOES WINS. Wins what exactly? You can only take one pair with you, baby. Maybe I'm just a hater, as I have always been hard to fit, and now (that I am middle aged) wear only clogs. God bless the Danish for their clogs!
Seen: 26.2 Do you know what that is? It is the length of a marathon, in miles. When one runs a marathon, one likes to tell everybody. Fair enough. That's a pretty impressive achievement. But let me ask you, driver of the Ford Excursion bearing this sticker, why, if you can run so far, must you park your land yacht in a compact space to be closer to the door, rather than the full-sized space RIGHT NEXT TO IT? Is that extra five feet really going to kill you.
I, for one, have no stickers on my car. I can't stand the pressure. People can be so judgmental.
The only bumper sticker I've ever had said "Soccer Taxi" - making it easy to find in a parking lot full of similar mini-vans. Your observations are funny. I never understand why people put offensively raunchy bumper stickers on their cars - they are like bad tattoos branding you in a way that can be pretty limiting.
ReplyDeleteI am an ANTI bumper sticker chick. The closest thing I have had to one is a magnet proclaiming our school team/mascot. I don't even have THAT one anymore. I sit at traffic lights MANY times shaking my head at the ridiculous stickers people WILLINGLY put on their cars! UGH.
ReplyDeleteThe only bumper sticker I ever had was the one you gave me that said "My Daughter goes to UCSB". Oh, there was another one when your grandfather ran for judge.
ReplyDeleteI love it. YOu know I have been coveting one of the 26.2 stickers for a long time...now it doesn't seem quite so great. :) :)
ReplyDeleteDo we really get to take one pair of shoes with us? haha...I've always wondered...I mean we can't see their feet when we pay our last respects. lol...sorry, morbid, I know.
ReplyDeleteYou're posts always make me smile!
I'm not a bumper sticker kind of person either. I think there are fewer around these days though. Certainly fewer funny ones. Most of the ones I see seem to say 'Princess on Board'. Not really fitting for Martha or Hattie it pains me to say.
