"Stop honking! I'm on the phone!"
And the awesome variant, "Keep honking. I'm reloading."
My rant on bumper stickers, only because it's relevant.
Here by Ann Arbor, I've stopped trying to read them all. Some of these vans looks like Google News headlines.

I nearly bought this one as a magnet for my delivery van when I was working for my parents:
Jesus Loves You
everyone else thinks you're an asshole

I've never seen this but I would love to see some religious venue print up a lot of:
I do my best work on my knees.
reference praying. you dirty people

Hmmm. You might be right.
It would explain all those bear traps she keeps setting around the place.

We don't really do bumper stickers up here in Canada - or at least Ontario - but there are a rare few sticking around. And I mean, they're rare enough that it surprises me to see a a bumper sticker. Anyway, I keep seeing one Chevy around town with a sticker on it that says
"Not out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign"
Now, the irony of this is that in my town here Toyota has recently set up shop here, and they've got another plant just down the highway. Honda and Suzuki also build cars in this province.
But that Chevy with the sticker? It's not built in Canada. The fucking idiot who stuck that sticker on his car is a fucking idiot.

My old car had a few bumper stickers. Mostly ones like, "Never have strong opinions about things you don't understand"
My favorite was "For such a small town, there sure are a lot of idiots here." because it is very true.

The mark of a really good bumper sticker (or button, for that matter) is that it should be chuckle-inducing yet be forgotten almost instantly. I've seen plenty that fit this description, can't remember many of them. Not even the one I found in the attic just a couple of weeks ago (which is still in the attic...no, I'm not gonna go get it down).
I think one of the ones I've seen that was the most amusing was someone's take on the 700 Club's marriage bumper sticker. They had requested multiple copies of this (free) bumper sticker, cut them up and assembled them so that one would be untouched, another would be two men, another was one man and 3 women, etc. Brilliant.

I actually put that one on my very first car years ago.
I really don't like that 'Co-exist' one that is so ubiquitous, and pretty much any of the other ones.
Hell, I don't even like the dealer sticker/decals on my car. I usually make an effort to remove any thing like that.

I have a hard time putting a $1 sticker on my $20,000 car. I even had the dealer take his decal off.

I want a bumper sticker that goes on the front of my car that says "Don't fucking slow down in front of me, jackass"

That is the way i feel now. But that old first clunker I got as a hand me down in high school a decade ago, well, fuck all to that!

DUDE! You could sell those and be a billionaire
I don't like the 'Coexist' one either. We're coexisting right now, jackass. Just some better than others.
I hate my university's slogan for the same reason. "Become." Become what? You're really being quite vague. You're encouraging me to become something, but haven't so much as given me a direction to go in. When I become a hooker, I hope you're proud.

Why all the flak about using someone else's words? You'd have to get rid of greeting cards, too. And balloons. You could even argue that stopping at words is arbitrary: you chose the car you drive partly (unless circumstances like money drove your decision) because the design someone else came up with reflected your sense of style. And on and on and on...
