...and it has one of those "It's a child, not a choice" stickers on it. And inside I see a male driving, and a female holding a baby on her lap. Now this is going down the Interstate, 70 mph speed limit, I'm going 75 and they're passing me pretty quickly. And I see four children in the backseat. I can't tell if any are sealbelted, but I know at least two were not because they had climbed up onto the back dash (you know, the flat space reserved for tissues and other things we lose that meets up with the back window) and are making faces at all of the cars they go by. And I'm thinking yeah, you made the right choice...

And then I get closer to home and stop at the gas station. A not very nice truck. That happens to have confederate flags on the back windows, and a "NO FAT CHICKS" bumper sticker on the back. The door opens and this man gets out who has at least 200 lbs on me. His sweatpants are filthy and, well - let's just say he needed to say no to crack. Grizzly beard, greasy hair, and flip flops (it's like 7 degrees out here). And let's just say he'd probably never seen a pedicure. He closes his door and proceeds to "hock a lugey" onto the side of the gas pump, laugh, and have a conversation with himself. And this guy is going to tell me "NO FAT CHICKS"? Why, because they turn you down too? (BTW, he also had one that said "TO ALL YOU VIRGINS - THANKS FOR NOTHING")

And I started wondering - what do you think the deal is with bumper stickers? Do you think people really feel this way? Do you think they're so hungry for attention that they do it just for the reaction? Do you think they bought the car from someone else, and "inherited" the political placards? Have you ever seen an absolutely ironic political statement, and wondered - wtf?!

My car has no stickers. I used to have a Darnwin fish, but someone stole it off my car. I was told that one of the resident church-goers relieved me of my ownership. And I remember thinking, how ironic...

Does anyone else remember a show called Bumpter Stumpers, where the strategy was to figure out as many plates as possible? (Or something like that).

I remember some game show where the object was to decipher as many as possible....mid 80's or so I think.

I do not have any on my car...however since they have already been mentioned...we have a wooden sign hanging on the bar above the gate on our horse trailer....it says "Don't B Whatcha C". We have had many, many offers for it. Instead we just hung it with sturdier chain!!!

***topic hijack***

Wheetsin wasn't it you that had your band surgery on Ash Wednesday? I warned someone (who is having surgery tomorrow) about the "dirty" nurses earlier, ---I always have to smile over it!!!

Ayuh, that was me. Nurse Manson and Nurse Infection, as my husband now refers to them. :doh:

I saw a great one yesterday. It had a female cartoonish figure and underneath it said, "Girls Kick Butt". I like that a LOT.

My hubby has a support ribbon that says "I support road head".

I find it ironic that he supports something he is never going to get.

ROTFL.... Does he know that??? lol....

He should by now...I think he just wants to look cool in front of his friends. He used to have one on his old car that said "Official Pimpmobile". He got pulled over once and the cop just said he wanted a closer look at the owner of the pimpmobile and ask him where he got the sticker.

I like the sticker "Pee for enjoyment, not for employment."

I always wanted a portable toilet-mobile with a license plate number of 4U2P.

My nephew has been rear-ended twice. His fancy Beemer has the vanity plate: KP UR DST

This was my first venture over to Rants and Raves.

I am so glad because Wheetsin, that was the biggest laugh I have had all year, thank you.

You are a witty writer, that was F U N N Y!!!!

And hey, someone's German Shepard may be smarter than my honour roll student, but can he play the violin?....:guess

Wheetsin - it was Bumper Stumpers! I love that show, my mom and I watched it all the time. I often wonder though why people get vanity plates that no one else can understand. Isn't the point to make a statement - not much of a statement if it doesn't make any sense.

I have to mention a couple of buttons we purchased recently:

Picture of Jesus with light around him that says "Look Busy, Jesus is coming" (probably funnier because of my non-belief :-).)

Picture of George Bush that says "A village in Texas has lost their Idiot"

In a store: "Jesus Saves, All Others Pay Full Price"

This was my first venture over to Rants and Raves.

And hey, someone's German Shepard may be smarter than my honour roll student, but can he play the violin?....:guess

He's learning..... I'll send you tickets to his first recital !! :biggrin1:

I have seen "Jesus saves sinners. Then he redeems them for valuable prizes."

Recently have seen:

"Honk if you voted for Bush. It's the big button in the middle of your steering wheel."

"Despite this car, I am not a lesbian."

Always liked the "Visualize Whirled Peas" and "Stop the Violins".

Had a shirt once that came in a sticker too that said, "Stop Plate Tectonics!"

I have never particularly liked bumper stickers - why do I want to turn my car into a billboard?

I prefer to support my beliefs with my actions.

And I cannot stand kids out of car seats. I can understand the sentiment of the sticker but you have to take care of the child AFTER it is born too.
