Not sure if this has been a topic before, and they may not be as rampant as they are in the US elsewhere. But I love a good bumper sticker. I heard of one today that I just love and might have to have one made. "I'm not in your hurry." The one I've had on my various vehicles since 1990 (where LA Driver, who was a courier service that worked a lot with LA recording studios, used it) is "Wow! Am I driving?" My husband had "My Australian Cattle Dog is dmarter than your Honor Student," and "I brake for tailgaters." Anyone else? Make me laugh.  ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

Don't think much of bumper stickers.......but if I had to put one on it would read... 'Do I look like I care about your opinion?' )

Bumper stickers are not that common here. I get annoyed by some too impatient people who seem trigger-happy on the horns despite generally being angry people (often a driver is being cautious with very good reason and the other driver can't see why they slowed down or stopped before turning). I find it rude, and it can be dangerous as it might startle drivers (seen it happen). A good driver is a courteous driver. I'm the better to be safe than sorry type. I'd quite like the bumper sticker "Honk if you like my driving" even though I wouldn't use it as horns are important for warning people and for echo-location. ;) Edit: By the way, I do have one of those magnetic bumper stickers which I keep on my fridge since acquiring my latest car. It reads, "MY OTHER RIDE IS A TARDIS". |

I like both of yours, dr wu and Logan....dr wu, yours does win for being funny (so far, anyway), Logan, I often think those angry drivers are headed for heart attacks. Living all over the US, it seems like there are regional differences in bad driving habits. In the south, I often found myself thinking of other drivers, "That's why God gave you a turn signal." I also saw more people running stop signs and red lights there than anywhere else (and, incidentally, they call all signals, "red lights," when giving directions. I used to always think, "What if it's green when I get there?  ) I'm from California originally, home of the "California Stop," not quite coming to an entire dead standstill at a stop when there's no traffic around. And have to confess, I've been known to show my roots. The other one I liked that I saw a lot back when cell phones were new (and could stand to see more of yet), was "Hang up and drive." I do tend to like the sarcastic ones, but there are also some gentler ones about, practice random acts of kindness sorts and all who wander are not lost.... ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

As long as they don't have a heart attack while driving, fine by me. ;) I have come across some really aggressive people on the road -- the traffic delays/ snarls here can be really frustrating and road rage is an increasing problem. The population is growing far too fast for the infrastructure to keep up with it. Anyway, on a more suitable humorous note, I like these bumper stickers (not my originals as evidenced by the funniness): "WATCH OUT FOR THE IDIOT BEHIND ME" (my favourite). "PLEASE DON'T HIT ME. I'M NOT 100% SURE ABOUT MY COVERAGE" "DISLEXICS ARE TEOPLE POO" |

but do you think a dislexic can spell the word "dislexic"?

My guess would be that they could. I have a dyslexic friend who was naturally left handed and they forced her to learn to write with her right hand (an old-fashioned thing that used to happen). She is a talented artist and can actually write forwards and backwards fluently...so dyslexic with a twist. She has learned to cope well with her learning difference. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

It was actually a pretty good joke, and I'm sure some people wonder about that. Just always thought that my friend's "handicap," actually gave her an additional talent. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

They might stand a chance at spelling dislexic given enough "teople poo". Teople poo has amazing qualities when smoked or ingested, including increased virility, in some reported cases telepathy and telekinesis, and an increase in spelling ability, but the effects are only temporary. After about 12 letters the effect wears off and jumbling occurs. It is rare and addictive. Teoples are well-known for their constipation, and harvesting samples requires much patience. |

I love having bumper stickers particularly musical ones. BTW a great source of bumper stickers is Northern Sun.
