Seen any good bumperstickers lately?

A wonderful license plate frame I saw today said:

**Feeling too good to care why!**

Probably one of the best I ever saw was:

**Don’t postpone joy.**

I saw Jesus’ drivers license today. I think he parked his Winnebago in front of my office.

If Jesus drove a Winnebago, he wouldn’t have to park it. The thing would park itself … he’d get dropped off, and the Winnebago would just go float up to the clouds and wait.

Tell her to Win e bago! We’re giving them away!

With the holes and all that, would he be able to use handicapped parking spaces?

My favorite bumper sticker of all time says “The driver only carries $20 worth of ammunition”.

Just yesterday I saw a T-Shirt that said:

> NO PROBLEM!

and I thought it was cute.

Where would Jesus park?  
Anywhere he wants to?  
I’d love to see someone give him a ticket!

A few years back, my mom designed and published a few hundred bumper stickers that read:

> [@](#):

> _Smart Bombs or Smart Kids;  
> Put your $$ Where the Future Is!_

I love that sticker. I still see one around Berkeley every so often, even now, about… 8 years after they were originally produced.

If Jesus did park in a public car park, you wouldn’t want to bash his car with your door when you got out!

I think Jesus would take the bus.

But couldn’t he just fix the dent himself?

::touch::  
\<BING!\>  
And the even paint matches again.

He’d park in the middle of two parking spaces, and say,  
“Oh yeah? Do you have any idea who I am? My dad’s a big hotshot…you’re gonna regret it!”

WWJTKD?

_What Would James T. Kirk Do?_

I know this turned up in a thread.

It has since turned up on a bumper-sticker in Middle Tennessee.

Go figure. 😕

I don’t think so. He wouldn’t have bought insurance on the Winnebago if he could.

I have it on good authority that if, in fact, God was “one of us,” and a “slob like one of us,” then he would be no more than a “stranger on the bus, just trying to make his way home.”

So, the question of where he would park is largely inconsequential.

But I’m told Jesus is a nice guy: probably not only would he not turn my car into a 2" cube, he’d fix the dent I accidently made on his Winnebago (with evenly matched paint [sorry about the word order]}, but also would turn around and heal the hole in my muffler, too.

**GOTN** - insurance is something Jesus wouldn’t _need_ (in that sense) but would have to have, in case he was pulled over by a cop: license, registration, insurance, the whole 9 yards.

{And would he have the “God is my co-pilot” license plate on the front? Or maybe the Pennsylvania fun-plates: “What a Friend We Have in…JESUS”? Unless of course he had to have a standard-issue front plate.)

Easy. He’d either make love to it or blow it up. Or both.

My personal philosophy: What would Frodo do?
