What's a bumpersticker you've never seen, but would like to?

My ideas:

SOLUTIONS, NOT SLOGANS!

REAL GHOSTS DON'T CARE IF YOU BELIEVE IN THEM OR NOT

Well, I've seen that one Tante, as well as T-shirts and bracelets with that slogan.

One of the favorite ones I've seen (political):

THE LAST TIME SOMEONE LISTENED TO A BUSH, THEY ENDED UP WANDERING THE DESERT FOR FORTY YEARS.
 
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
 
How about:

<INSERT WITTY PHRASE HERE>

Or:

[/WAR]

Or:

I SOLD MY OTHER CAR TO BUY GAS FOR THIS ONE
 
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
 
How about the short and pithy:

THE END.

My favorite all-time bumper sticker read:

YEAH, GUNS KILL PEOPLE LIKE SPOONS MADE ROSIE O'DONNELL FAT.

You know what is my favorite bumper sticker? The ones that say "How's my driving? Call (whatever number)"

I love to whip out my cell phone and call to report how the driving is. Sometimes you get a machine, and sometimes you get a real person. I always give a glowing report of the driving "I'm right behind the truck, and the driver is doing fine. He just used the directional signal and changed lanes beautifully. Now he is in the right lane, and he is following the posted speed limit. And he's doing a really good job of staying in the lane, too."

If it is a long drive, I'll call back a few times with more progress reports of how good the driving is. When the truck and I have to part ways, I'll call one last time to say that I need to exit the highway now, so I won't be able to give any more updates.

Sometimes the person on the other end will tell me, "Ma'am, you don't have to keep calling." But I always tell them that it is quite alright, I don't mind.

I love "HANG UP AND DRIVE"

I'd like to see "KILL YOUR SUV"

I so hate SUVs. And not because they have terrible gas milage. I understand some of them aren't that bad. What I hate about them is that they're a hazard to navigation. You can't see around them. When they park in a compact spot with wheels hanging over the lines on both sides they make it impossible to see if you're about to get splattered by an on coming car when you're pulling out. And if you try to park between two SUVs you might have a hard time getting your doors open.

Not to mention the fact that if you're in an accident with an SUV, you stand a much higher chance of injury than if you were in an accident with a normal car.

Unless you have 4+ kids there's no reason to have one. They're just trendy and freaking annoying.

[Laugh] Tante

I've always thought someone should do that, I'm glad I'm not alone [Big Grin]

As far as bumperstickers, here's a few I'd like to see:

- Stop the Slaughter! Boycott Baby Oil!

- Don't upset me. I'm running out of places to hide the bodies

"ALL LIFE IS SACRED -- BAN ANTIBIOTICS"
 
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
 
Not a bumpersticker, but there is a vet's office that has the coolest things on his sign outside.

Today it was

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GET SCARED HALF TO DEATH TWICE?

Last week it was

ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN TELEKINESIS RAISE MY HAND

If I didn't already have a vet I loved I'd take my pets to this place just for their sense of humor.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BRAKE FAST

For accuracy, for most accidents, it's safer to be in an SUV than a sedan.

But SUV's tend to roll over, even when another vehicle wouldn't have had an accident at all. They also take a long time to slow down, which increases the probability that they won't stop in time to avoid an accident. So you're not more likely to be injured in any particular accident, you're just more likely to have one in the first place.

Then there's the fact that if an SUV strikes a sedan, the occupants of the sedan are 25 times more likely to die than if they'd been hit by another sedan.

Glenn, Your last point was my point. I didn't say an accident IN an SUV, I said an accident WITH an SUV.

I hadn't considered the roll over and lack of braking aspect, but that just adds to my case.
