Does that lake get cold enough to freeze hard enough to drive on, not in, during winter?

It certainly used to. When you drove by in the winter you’d see the lake dotted by ice-fishing shacks (such as you saw elsewhere in the movie _Grumpier Old Men_). But in recent years climate change has made the originally reliably thick winter ice assume an iffy thickness, so you can’t trust it. Anybody driving their car onto the ice would be taking a chance on literally driving into Lake Winnepesaukee.

As for your implication that, during more secure years you _could_ confidently drive out onto the lake and therefore make the bumper sticker a reality, I’d argue that in that case you wouldn’t be driving your car _into_ the Lake, but _onto_ it.

I saw a bumper sticker recently:

**Buck the duck** , with a bronco kicking a rubber duck.

Took me a while to get it, until I realized it was on a Bronco, and the duck thing is referencing the practice of leaving rubber ducks on Jeeps. Presumably meant as a jab at Jeep owners, a “My Bronco’s better than your Jeep” thing.

I saw a good one today.

It was a Honda family van, one of those things with the floor only 8" above the road so toddlers can easily clamber in and out. The perfect Mom-of-kidlets mobile.

On the rear window was a sign
