This reminds me of the _Monty Python_ sketch featuring John Cleese as the village idiot.

BRING VERMONT FORWARD.

It was a response to a xenophobic campaign to “Take Vermont Back” (from them no-good gentrifyin’ New Yorkers, etc.)

I always liked George Calrin’s suggestion:

“I am the proud parent of a child whose self esteem is sufficient enough, he doesn’t need me to celebrate his minor scholastic achievements on the back of my car.”

or

“My child sold drugs to your honor roll student.”

At Biketoberfest last year I saw this sticker on a Harley Road King that looked like it’s been places. It was made up to look just like a manufacturer’s warning label:

```auto

                          Warning!

- If this bike is on a trailer, it is being stolen.
- If this bike is in a truck or a van, it is being stolen.

```

(You see, it’s funny if you knew how many of the bikes there were just trailered to the event to be used as bar-hopping ass jewelry.)

Not a sticker, but I did pull up behind a biker wearing tee that said “If you can read this, my bitch fell off”.

Remember the temporarily ubiquitous “Mean People Suck” bumper stickers? Little black squares with white, bold type? My favorite was a bumper sticker in exactly the same style: “Don’t Be a Pussy.”

My local favorite: “Keep Portland Weird”

That reminds me of a bumpersticker I didn’t see, but read about that said something like, “If you can read this where the hell is my trailer?” That seemed hilarious to me for years until I just typed it out right now and now it seems kind of lame.

God is my co-pilot, but the Devil is my bombardier

Jesus saves, Moses invests, but only Buddha gives Dividends

You found God? If nobody claims him in 30 days, he’s yours!

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again

Rock is dead. Long live paper and scissors.

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Procrastinate now.

Did you happen to see this on a tan 1988 Nissan Stanza Station Wagon? If so, that was probably my mom’s car. She had that bumper sticker for years, and in fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other car with it.

Back when those “Eat Meat” Carl’s Jr. bumper stickers were around, I saw one person who had apparently taken scissors to a couple of them and created “Eat Cat Meat at (Carl’s Jr. logo)”
