My all-time favorite: “For a Small Town, This One Sure Has Lots Of Assholes”, written in weird, sloping block letters.

In the what would Jesus do vein, I saw a bumper sticker last year that said “Jesus Would Use His Turn Signal”

Along the same line, I saw another one reading, “Forget World Peace - Visualize Using Your Turn Signal!”

A few from my Native American friends:

“My heroes have always killed cowboys” (next to a picture of Geronimo"

“Custer got Siouxed”

“Now you’ve seen The New World - Go Home”

“America - Love it or give it back”

“Custer died for your sins”

“Musicians Duet Better”

DoctorJ, I saw an old one that yours reminded me of:  
“Go Braves-and take the Hawks with you”

I realize that the “peeing Calvin” window stickers don’t really count as sloganizing, but one I saw while driving through Calumet City struck me as funny a couple of weeks ago.

The vehicle was a newer Mazda light pickup truck, dark blue, with tinted windows, driving aggressively through Wednesday rush hour traffic on Route 355.

The Calvin sticker was peeing on the text “Ford Trucks”.

Mazda pickups are Ford Rangers. Mazda SUV’s are Ford Explorers.

My buddy used to have a “Mean People Suck” sticker where a hood ornament would be.

The punch was that on the back was the “Nice People Swallow” sticker…

I saw one with some deformed yellow smiley faces that said “Stop inbreeding-Ban Country Music” that made me laugh for quite a while. I saw another one that said “I love cats-they taste just like chicken” that I really liked. And I would love to see that one with the darwin fish humping the Jesus fish.

“This too shall pass” seen on a well-used but still spunky ford during an hour long traffic jam. Yes, the traffic jam passed, so did the ford for that matter. I’m now convinced that that particular sticker can be applied to any situation involving vehicular movement.

I have one on my car that says, “DO NOT WASH: This car is undergoing a scientific dirt test”

I got it because my dad was forever complaining that my car was so dirty. The day I got it, he was looking at my car, and I said, “So, how do you like the sticker?” I haven’t heard a word about it since.

One that I really liked and would love to get: “Humpty Dumpty Was Pushed” I have no idea why, but it totally cracks me up.

The best one I ever saw was like one of those Darwin or Jesus fishes, except it said Cthulhu and had wierd fins and four or five eyes on tentacles coming out of the head.

My favorite bumper sticker ever has to be, “I eat the flesh of the living - and I vote!”

“If going to church makes you a Christian, does going to the garage make you a car?”

“Honk if you’re Jesus” still cracks me up.

Up here in Vermont, we had a rash of “Take back Vermont” signs and bumper stickers in response to the Civil Unions bill. The obvious response was stickers that read “Take Vermont forward.” Much funnier, however, were ones saying “Take Vermont from behind.”

And I don’t get “Hug your kid. Spank the sound barrier.”

I’m sure I’ve posted this here before, but I still get a kick out of this pair of bumper stickers, from the car of my junior-year English teacher:

On the left:  
TEACHERS DO MORE THAN TEACH

On the right:  
ASK ME ABOUT MARY KAY COSMETICS

My favorite bumper sticker was a generic sticker. I mean, it was just a sticker with the word “Sticker” written on it, with those blue stripes they used to mark generic products. I bought it at a record store, it was an accessory to the PiL album which used the same generic packaging, on vinyl it was “Album” and on cassette it was labeled “Cassette.” A promo bumper sticker came out so it was “Sticker.” It had a small PiL logo but nobody knew what it meant.
