Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: sophocleese Date: 11 Oct 99 - 03:42 PM I used to have a button that read: "I am a Quaker, in case of emergency please, BE QUIET!" There was also the favourite "Fox Off!" as well. |

I didn't vote for his daddy, either (but that means nothing outside of Texas) Don't blame me, I voted for Willie Nelson. My mother once got us to a friend's Quaker wedding on the Rice University campus (incredibly confusing if you aren't familiar with it) by following the bumper stickers, "Quakers: Witnesses for Peace since 1660", "Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Beauty" (or whatever the wording should be), several Darwin fish, "Clinton/Gore" or "Vote Democrat". |
Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: Mbo Date: 11 Oct 99 - 09:36 AM A personal favorite of mine is "Have You Flogged Yer Crew Today?" As a resident of Greenville, North Carolina, and an East Carolina University student, I can tell you that there is not much in this town that isn't Pirate-related (you might have noticed our team, the ECU Pirates were ranked No.16 in the NCAA football polls, but since our loss on Saturday to Southern Miss(evil!) we'll probably drop from the rankings. :-{ By the way, the Car Talk guys (Tom & Ray Maliozzi also known as Click & Clack--The Tappitt Brothers) from the NPR program have had some good bumper stickers like: "Vote for Click & Clack The Tappitt Brothers: Unencumbered by the Thought Process" and there newest "Get Off the Phone & Drive!" --Mbo |

Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: DonMeixner Date: 21 Sep 99 - 01:52 PM I have always wanted to have some stickers printed up that would be of A #12 x 1 1/2" phillips head threaded fastener. The sticker would be about 1 1/2" in diameter. It would cover the "luv hearts" That we see on bumber stickers realating ones affection for their pets. I imagine a few heads might be turned along the highway. A sticker of the spade from a deck of cards could have an equal effect. But it might also get cheers from the ASPCA and Peta. Don |

Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: DonMeixner Date: 21 Sep 99 - 12:26 AM While traveling with the band to a gig in the Poconos we were very slowly passed by an elderly couple who were busy in the front seat of their car conversing in American Sign Language. I can read very little of it but I felt like I was eaves dropping so I looked away. As they passed I noticed their bumper sticker read " Honk if you don't like my driving". |
Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: Jack (Who is called Jack) Date: 20 Sep 99 - 11:37 PM I don't know if I put this in the last bumper sticker thread. About 10 years back, David Duke (remember him) ex-imperial Wizard of the Klu-Klux-Klan, claimed he had 'changed his tune', he tried to run for Guv'ner of the great state of Louisiana as a member of the Repubican . The Louisiana constitution calls for an open primary with the top two finishers to fight it out in the general election. Well much to the chagrin of the GOP, and mortification of old G.W. Bush in his taxpayer funded digs up on Pennsylvania Avenue, Mr. Duke managed to finish second behind the right honerable Democratic Ex-Guv, one Edwin Edwards, who's history of self-serving patronage and corruption in office had attained a legendary status on the delta second only to Huey Long. So come November, the good citizens of Louisiana had managed to put themselves in the unenviable position of having to choose between a Klan Wizard (The Hood) or a political criminal (The Crook). The running joke was 'Who ya gonna vote for, The Hood or The Crook". Which gave rise to the greatest political bumper sticker in the history of american politics IMHO. Vote for the Crook--Its Important! |

Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: JedMarum Date: 20 Sep 99 - 05:16 PM dull minds aren't created, I think, kat - they just happen (perhaps much the same way as sh*t happens). I once saw a clever graffiti conversation written along the wall of a public entrance to the men and women's room at a restauraunt in Framingham Massachusetts. It read; Women get liberated. Make him sleep in the wet spot! the equally clever, and presumably equally liberated retort penned beneath it read; Liberated men prefer sleeping on the wet spot! |
Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: katlaughing Date: 20 Sep 99 - 05:06 PM SophoC, I've seen that as a bumper sticker. Another related one is the DARE logo, from the anti-drug program, only instead of saying "DARE" and underneath that "To keep kids off drugs", it says "DARE...to keep cops off donuts!" NOI (no offense intended) to any cop Mudders. But, liam, do we have to have the housework in order to create the dull mind?*G* katlaughing |
Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: sophocleese Date: 20 Sep 99 - 05:02 PM I have a t-shirt that reads; "Bad Cop No Donut". I did actually wear it into a donut shop filled with police officers. I was on trip somewhere and the first place I headed for in the shop was the ladies. When I come out several of the people were snickering and staring at me. I couldn't figure it out at first. I checked my shorts, my hair, my glasses then I realized it was my shirt. OOps! Most of them thought it was funny, two of them asked me where they could get one. |

Subject: RE: Funny Bumper Stickers-Second Edition! From: JedMarum Date: 30 Aug 99 - 09:54 AM ... and if y'all will indulge just one minor thread creep digression; I was sitting in the stall at a men's room at DFW airport when I noticed, among the usual homophobic scribblings, one 'author' had written simply Jesus Saves ... another budding literary genius had scribbled in beneath this comment (presumably some time much later) the words, and Lineacre scores on the rebound!. Apparently this is not an uncommon English one-liner, but it struck me as a bit unusual for American bathroom graffiti. |

If it don't work my apologies in advance. It's a story that I received by e-mail that ties in with the "Honk if you love _____" series.
The other day I went to the local religious book store where I saw a HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on the back of my car, and I am really glad I did. What an uplifting experience followed!! |
