I think there's been a thread like this before, but I'm far too lazy to look for it (and apparently far to lazy to press the 'o' key as I had left it off of about six of those words ).
Anyways, here are some I want to make:
Jesus wasn't a fish I vote to protect your rights Simon says use your turn signals I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted
Yes, I'm aware that the last two are Einstein quotes and it's possible I got them wrong, if so:

I once saw a bumper sticker that proclaimed the value of the speed of light ... in furlongs per fortnight. Very nerdy, very cool.

I had suggested long ago that someone should take those Calvin urinating on NASCAR and Calvin praying to the cross ones and combine them. While I don't have any interest in either, I am certain there is a market for Calvin bowing down to NASCAR and pissing on the cross.

If it wouldn't get me arrested and/or shot, I'd tear off every one of those Calvin stickers I could find. Unauthorized and disrespectful merchandizing like that was one of the things that led Bill Watterson to quit doing "Calvin and Hobbes." I grit my teeth every time I see one...

Watterson certainly would have had exclusive right to copy his creative works according to copyright law.
His exclusive right could probably still be argued. But, he did not exercise his right to merchandising his work much when it was new, I don't know if he has fought these potential infringers since, and it has been a long time since he has produced new work. These window and bumper stickers could possibly be defended as parodies, which are protected under fair use (for example, these are not reproductions of his comic strips).
Now that we're at it, what about more Bloom County, too.

They sell magnetic strips the same size as a bumper sticker so you don't have to commit your car to anything these days
These already exist, but I'll mention them again for a laugh:
I used to have a bumper sticker (when I used to have a car) that had a seatbelt logo and said "BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car."
My friend has one that, from a normal distance says "Support Law Enforcement"," but upon closer inspection, has writing above and below so it reads "If I put up this bumper sticker that says SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT, will it get me out of a ticket, Officer?"
And my favorite - written in red: "If this is blue, you're driving too fast."

Hey Feyd, that would be that you don't have the "gall" to put it under your car. I am currently studied up on gall bladders and gallstones after having mine recently removed.
I believe putting a Gaul on your car would equate to a bumper sticker of Jacque Chirac.

You can never call yourself the nerdiest person alive again.
I also had one that my aunt sent me from Dubai - it said "I Love Camels" in arabic. For non-Arabic speakers, it also had a large heart and a camel silhouette.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
careful with that one Annie. Some non-arabic reading drivers may misinterpret that bumper sticker to believe that you have a foundness for humps/humping etc.
"Morticians Call Drivers on their Cell Phones to increase business" is a bit long.
