It was a button, not a bumper sticker, but it said “Bush, stay outta my bush!”

This wasn’t a bumper sticker but words on a piece of wood.

Place: Apartment complex parking lot in Georgia.

There was a Ford trucked parked there with no pull up back at the end of the truck bed. (I’m not sure what the thingie is called).

In place of the pull up back thing was a piece of wood with the words written in spray paint, 'Built Ford Tough". I thought it was hilarious.

I’ve heard them called tailgates. Tailgating means following too closely or the activity of preparing meals and having parties off the tailgates of trucks and such. Nowadays tailgating implies camping out at the grounds near a stadium.

That one gave me the giggles. Is it still available?

How about “My other bumper sticker is funny.”

Okay, I never saw or read of this one, but no reason to let that stop me…

Okay, well [obviously I must have](http://www.fakecrap.com/funfree/bumperstickers.html); it was too clever to be original.

This rejoinder to “WWJD?” would make a juicy bumper sticker . . . if it weren’t so long . . . [http://www.galactanet.com/comic/294.htm](http://www.galactanet.com/comic/294.htm)
