I figure bumper stickers are a pithy form of literature, so I’m starting off in Cafe Society. Obviously, if the Mods feel the need, relocation is fine. There is some possibility of having a car and a bumper available in the intermediate future. All that blank space may be too much for me, and a bumper sticker may be in order. Hit me with you suggestions, tell me of the one you have, or the one that you wish you had, or the one you saw that was brilliant. ---

47.3% of all statistics are made up. Department of Redundancy Department. Too many people with solutions is the problem. There are 10 kinds of people in the world: people who understand binary, and people who don’t. The gene pool could sure use some chlorine. Let gays marry; why shouldn’t they be miserable, too? Math illiteracy affects 7 out of every 5 people. The Dude abides. Sarcasm: Just another service I offer. Temporarily out of my mind. Please leave a message. Top Ten Reasons to Procrastinate: 1. Eschew obfuscation. I’ll try to be nicer if you try to be smarter. Confusion, uncertainty, havoc: my work here is done. Where am I going, and why am I in this handbasket? It’s OK, I wasn’t using my civil liberties anyway. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/suggest-a-most-excellent-bumper-sticker/520224.md?page=2)
