sorta off topic…but I was driving home last night and a large SUV in front of me had this as his license plate: USISGR8 And a bush/cheney sticker on the back window. Im an American and for some reason I wanted to rear end him! ---

Bumper sticker on my vehicle: **W W J B ?** who would jesus bomb? In the rear-view mirror, I typically get one of two reactions: (a) knowing smiles and sometimes outright laughter, or (b) red-faced anger, a clenched jaw, and white knuckles on the wheel. Not a lot of in-between responses at all. I find this dichotomous reaction interesting and darkly amusing. ---

Jesus definitely wouldn’t have cut in front of me in the lunch line like you did, you jerk. ---

Jesus had twelve apostles. He’d need at least an SUV; maybe a [bus](http://www.cverbelun.addr.com/JCS.ht403.jpg). ---

> [@Scott\_plaid](#): > > You see, when I quoted it earlier in this thread, [**eleanorigby**](http://www.stevesbeatles.com/songs/eleanor_rigby.asp) (who, incidentally, waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door), thought that WWSD meant “ **W** hat **W** ould **S** atan **D** o?”, while MisterThyristor thought it meant “ **W** hat **W** ould **S** cooby **D** o?” As I said, I was trying to apply it to Socrates.by asking a socratic question. It never occurred to me that it could be read that way. :eek: Sure, I didn’t define it at the time, because I thought it would be sooooo clever :rolleyes: for me to define it later in the same thread, after the question was answered, which it never was. > > Looking at eleanorigby’s response, it’s unclear if she meant when she saw it here, in that thread, or in RL. Thus, I was hoping to ask, did anyone read the thread I linked to, at the time I originally posted it, and if so, did they misunderstand it? I will take silence to mean “No.”, so as to cut down on the hijacking of this thread. thanks for the towel. Um…where I keep my face is MY bizness! 🙂 Anyway–I feel somewhat bad here, but truly I am innocent. I haven’t even opened the **Evil** attitude thread, ever! So, I am either a pawn in the game of Pit threads, or a seriously sick individual who needs exorcism…or someone with more clever repartee than yourself! 😛 Back to the thread. ---

If he had a bike, it would be a little less cliched than a Harley – a BMW, maybe, or a Triumph. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-jesus-do/299214.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-jesus-do/299214.md?page=4)
