_…We’re Birdwatchers!_ **FUCK YOU!** I swear to God, if you ever stop in front of me… make me damned near kill myself to avoid that old fuckin’ Buick, just so you can ooh and ahh over a crow sitting on a lightpost, I’m gonna rip that bumper sticker off your car, roll it up, turn it sideways, and stick it right up your octogenerian ass, motherfucker! Aaargh, that bumper sticker pissed me off yesterday. Pompous fuckers. **Grrrrr!** ---

St. Peter - “How did you two die?” Birdwatchers - “Well, we jammed on the brakes to check out a yellow-bellied sapsucker on the side of the road and we got rear-ended by a semi carrying a load of liquid oxygen.” St. Peter - “You can go to hell.” ---

Yeek! \*\* Long as you don’t have to stop to tell me about them. 😉 Actually, it only pissed me off because of the whole 'Caution! Frequent Stops!" part. That kind’ve thing should be reserved for folks who need it. You know, emergency vehicles, service vehicles, schoolbusses… _muses_ So, how are your grandchildren? :\> ---

Just curious, but was the car actually stopped in the middle of the road when you saw this bumper sticker, or was it on some car that you happened to see tooling down the road or parked in a parking lot? ---

Guess what they were probably doing? :rolleyes: ---

Maybe it would be nice if all idiot drivers had bumper stickers to warn us about them. “Caution - I California-lane-change at the last possible moment” or “I don’t know how to merge - expect me to slam on the brakes at the end of the merge lane”
