Bumper stickers can be very demanding. Oh, not all of them. Some make a simple statement like,
"Compost Happens." Um...OK. Yes, yes it does. Thanks for letting me know.
"My Boss Is a Jewish Carpenter." I see this one a lot. How many Jewish carpenters are there out there, and why is it remarkable to work for one of them? My boss is a Cumulous Cloud. So what?
"I Brake for Hallucinations." And we have to drive on the same road! Sheesh!
But others want me to do something.
"Support Our Troops." No problem. Do it all the time. Taxes, you know.
"Support Breast Cancer Research." OK. What would you like me to do? Send money? I've bought a bunch of those little pink ribbons, does that count?
"Support Your Local Fire Department." Been there, done that. I was a charter member of the Fire Department Auxiliary, and organization which no longer exists. If y'all can't keep the Auxiliary going, why should I support you? I still have the cheap Tshirt you gave us!
"Stop Child Abuse." Well, I'd like to, but that's a pretty tall order. I didn't abuse my own children much beyond the minimum required of a "slacker mom." And I did risk life and limb once, when I saw a woman whaling on a toddler in a restaurant. I called CPS on my room mate once, when she beat the hooey out of her daughter with a broom handle. I do my part, honest!
"Keep Austin Weird." I'll do my best. Mostly by keeping my un-weird self out of there.
I'm tired of being bullied by bumper stickers.
The best bumper sticker I've seen lately is one that said BUSH MADE ME A DEMOCRAT.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, that's pretty much true for me.
Oh, and I love my Death Hag (www.findadeath.com) sticker but I'm saving it for the next car.

Before the last election, I saw one that said: "Plant a Bush in Texas." "Hell no!" sez I. "We really don't want him back!"
ReplyDeleteThere was only one jewish carpenter.
ReplyDeleteThe Jewish carpenter is Jesus. It's remarkable to work for him because not all folks do.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you anonymice have a sense of humour?
ReplyDeleteI know who the Jewish Carpenter is, for Heaven's sake! Do you think I'm a total idiot?
(Don't answer that.)
I was joking! Geez!
You tell em, Ronni!
ReplyDeleteThe bumber sticker I enjoyed was "Eat, drink and remarry"! I snorted at that, big time.
I thought: Hey, that's me!
Jesus was a Carpenter?
Ducking!
Just popped in to say hi, Ronni
ReplyDeleteYour late night shopping spree was a real hoot.
Trust you to try to explain yourself.
Such a pity you didn't have a partner in crime with you, to play on their suspicions. Heh
Are you referring to the Walmart trip? OK, That deserves an entry!
ReplyDeleteThe fun never stops!
Obviously, you don't have to post this, Ronni
ReplyDeleteAnother bumper sticker, it's a little grubby, though.
"Taj Mahal, and I'll touch yours!"
