...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...

"my other car is a broom" ...cat

I so want one of those. I don't have bumper stickers either - cause round these parts you never know when some good ol' boy is going to get offended and ram you with their 4x4... but I can't see that broom sticker making anybody mad... Truth in advertising and all...

LOL!

I have a window cling that says geocaching.com. Needless to say, the only people who get it are the people who are into geo caching.

That's exactly why I don't get a Darwin fish. I live in a relatively rural part of Kentucky, and I'm not taking the chance that some redneck Christian will mess up my car.

Ok, I have to ask, what is geocaching? ~Mandy

nevermind, I googled it and found out for my self. ~Mandy

That's exactly what happened to me. Well, kind of. My car was not damaged, but the emblem was stolen (allegedly) by a neighbor. The same one who wants to knock on our door when his church is selling something or wanting donations.

I think this one is hilarious:

Have you seen the one shaped like a UFO?

I heard about someone that put a bumper sticker on their car that said "Run, Hillary, Run!!" . . . but it was on the FRONT bumper LOL!

Wheetsin, the fish n chips fish is my absolute favorite!

Here's one that Sunta will like:

And here's a few that I like:

re: ""Stop Plate Tectonics!"

I HAVE that one....and was at a restaurant once....some little confused person asked, "what's THAT....something about dieting?"....

Yup, same thing happened to me. I would either get, "What's that?" (followed by assumptions that it was a reference to dinnerware oe eating... and I wasn't even fat at the time) or people who had no clue - but didn't want to let on - so they'd say something like, "I agree!". Once someone knew what it was referring too, but was utterly confused by the suggestion that we try to stop them.

the one I see around here a few times a year, is the "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven"....

Don't know why it irritates me so much....

To me, it's irritating because it implies that Christians can do anything they want and still go to Heaven because they're "forgiven".

My husband (the hobby physicist) has the science one, and bought me the scuba fish back when I completed my first scuba certification.

I never put stickers on my bumper but I'll put them on my back window so I can remove them easily. I wouldn't want to ruin my paint job. Right now I have a big white detroit red wings logo on my back window.

If you don't like sticking the stickers, you can always apply them to magnet. Back in college we had to have university parking stickers, but they changed every semester. So you could either go with the "layered stair" look of sticker after sticker (I attended for 7 years and was NOT interested in doing that!), or spend lots of time peeling after finals.

I started sticking mine onto pieces of acrylic that I could trim to the sticker size, and then just propping the acrlyic up against my back window, in the seam where the back dash meets the window. That worked like a CHARM!
