A red bumper sticker: “If this bumper sticker is blue, you’re going too fast.”

“186,000 miles per second–it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law!”

I saw this one about thirty years ago, and I still remember it (which I can’t say about most other things I saw thirty years ago):

“Happiness is all right in theory, I guess…”

It was hand-written.

I saw a great one today. It had a big arrow pointing to Michael Jackson’s current “face” and read WHAT THE FUCK _IS_ THIS!?!

Oh my Jesus, what’s funny is just hours ago I was thinking to myself that there should be a bumper sticker that reads “My other car is a \<insert crappy car name here\>” bumper sticker. Then I thought about it some more and decided against it, as nobody who buys an expensive car would want to desecrate it with cheesy bumper stickers. Maybe I was wrong.

I don’t have a license to kill. I have a Learner’s Permit.

On my brother-in-law’s truck…

On an older vehicle he once had, “Nuke Gay Whales for Jesus”. He said it was to piss off everyone worth pissing off.

Some women are born leaders. You’re following one.

I may be slow but I’m in front of you.

Save the planet, recycle an environmentalist.

Spiritual fruits, not religious nuts.

Jesus loves me, but can’t stand you.

God created Adam first, saw the mistake and created Eve.

On my truck I had 2 home made bumper stickers:

I’m an Asshole, _And I Vote!_

and

Free Tibet  
Limit one per customer.  
While supplies last  
Not valid with any other offer.  
Somebody attempted to steal, or they just were offended by, the “vote” sticker a couple weeks ago, So now I have to make a new one.

Hah! Love the Tibet one, Nurse Carmen. 🙂

My only bumpersticker at the moment says ‘geek.’  
Being a unix geek, my old favorite is the “got root?” one. Another is “I read your email.”, in answer to the many times I get asked that very question. 🙂

“I love vegetarians, they’re delicious!”

“Those of you who think you are right are annoying to those of us who are.”

and my all time fav:

“If at first you don’t succeed, ski diving is not for you.”

Another one for the physicists:

“Positrons are Another Matter”

I got that one quoted on Paul Harvey years ago…

Despite really disliking drivers who follow too closely, I love the bumper sticker that says:

**I’m not tailgating, I’m drafting.**  
I always liked the old Barry Goldwater bumpersticker:

**AuH2O**

Also,

**Engage in Random Acts of Senseless Kindness**

I saw one on the way home from work and I thought about this thread.

Skydiving. Good to the last drop.
