    HAPPINESS IS SEEING YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW'S 
    PICTURE ON THE SIDE OF A MILK CARTON
    
    
    An old one...
    
    
    THREE MILE ISLAND - 0
    CHAPPAQUIDIC - 1

    I once had one that read "take a streaker to lunch". Which reminds
    me - there was a lady streaker at a recent cricket match in England.

    Remember when....
    
                      Air was clean 
              
                                     and
     
                                             Sex was dirty !!??            
     

    
    On my local vicar's car....
    
    Carpenter from Nazareth seeks joiners.  (May not be funny outside
    the UK ?)

    Re: .6
    
    The biblical and carpentry double meaning for "joiners" is clear
    enough.  Is there something else?  Why might it not be funny outside
    the UK?

    
    OK, I thought that "joiners", in the woodworking sense, might be
    a curiously English usage.  You never know !

    Heredity makes parents 
    wonder about each other.

    Tourist season has started here in Colorado Springs.  That
    means there are *lots* of RVs (aka Winnebozos) zipping
    down the freeway and even attempting to drive to the top
    of Pikes Peak..
    
    One popular bumber sticker on RVs is:
         "I'm spending my children's inheritance".

    
    My all-time fave;
    
    " Ex-husband's lover locked in boot."
    
    PBT.
    

Oldie but goodie.

Seen yesterday in a Digital parking lot.

Not strictly speaking a bumper sticker, but the ubiquitous "Baby on board"
(even when there clearly isn't), is sometimes seen in Germany as "Babe f�hrt
mit" -- might sound amusing to some?

I always wanted one that said "Tactical nuclear weapon on board".

    Hate the way I drive?  You should see me putt!

I Brake for the Heck of It

    Re .19:
    
    I saw one similar:
    
                         I BRAKE FOR HALLUCINATIONS

    Somebody gave me ...
    
                        I BRAKE FOR NO REASON AT ALL
    

    (On a personal name, not a sticker... but I'm going to get it made
    into one if it kills me):
    
    I Brake For Tailgaters
    
    

	I don't brake for a$$holes

    I saw a bumper sticker the other night which left me wondering about
    the owners domestic tranquility.

    So many pedestrians, so little time...

    Junction a well known land mark so named because of the cemetery
    close by)

    Many many years ago WCRB was (and perhaps still is) a source of

    	REPEAL OHM'S LAW

    There is the classic:

    Which is taken a step further with:

            IGNORE AUTHORITY


    Another unrelated one:

            WE DON'T CARE     ( Bell/ATT ( at the time )
            WE DON'T HAVE TO     LOGO )

    Saw this one driving to work this morning:
    
    	SPEED KILLS!   DRIVE A
    	PEUGEOT & LIVE FOREVER

    ROUGHLEY VIA EARDLEY
    
    I read the first word and ignored the E, so wondered how much worse
    the road surface was about to get, or how one could get a bus route
    which was only defined at run-time.

    So many men
    So few with brains

    
    
                      My wife told me that if I go 
                      fishing once more she'll leave me.
                        God, I'm going to miss her!

    This was not on the bumper; it was painted on the front of the
    truck:

    					16 January 1990

    Not on a bumper sticker, but painted on the back of a large tank truck
    that I saw on my way to work:


                                TECHNICAL
                                 ANIMAL
                                  FAT


    and below that:

                               Not intended
                              for human food


    I spent the rest of the drive wondering if this was perhaps the melted
    down remnants of engineers (technical animals?) that were no longer
    needed... 

    and what would happen if, despite the intentions of the trucking
    company, it did end up in human food..

    
    Re: -1
    
    If it did, it probably would wind up in the vending machines here.

    "If you tailgate me, I'll flick a booger in your windshield."
    
    I thought....what kind of man would put something that disgusting 
    on the paint job of a nice truck?? Although, I suppose his threat 
    could be dangerous if one was to be driving a convertable. (-:

    My favorite....Never have seen it, but would LOVE to get it for
    my car:

    re -1:
    
    I've actually seen a bumper sticker that says;
    
    		"I heart my cat head"

Honda Prelude, that is.

                         JAPANESE CADILLAC

    TESTAROSTA

    In the same vein as identifying a dirty car as being covered
    with "test dirt", perhaps a rusty Fiat could have "testarusta".

    On a vehicle driven by a Native American:
    
               "Custer had it coming!"

     The other day I passed a pickup truck with a blue plastic bug shield
     mounted across the hood that simply said:

                                  WRONG WAY

    (where the * character symbolizes the multicolored Apple Computer logo
    and the # character a red "heart" symbol; on the right side of the
    bumper, I've pasted a * over the # in the standard-issue "I # DIGITAL"
    bumper sticker)
    
    
    +-------------+ +-----------------------------------+  +-------------+
    | I # Digital | | I'd rather be driving a Macintosh |  | I * DIGITAL |
    +-------------+ +-----------------------------------+  +-------------+
    
    I've been thinking that for more clarity I should add a semicolon
    between the first two and a mathematical "therefore"
     .
    . .
    between the latter two...  :-)

    Yes, the "therefore" would tell readers what you're talking about.

    When I was in the U.S. I was passed by a Semi-trailer going up 495

                               Do Not Tailgate
    
    I also surmise that during the actual shows, they are heavily trained
    NOT to engage in the kind of olfactory tailgating that could (heaven
    forfend!!) result in untoward displays of K-Y^H9 sexuality.
    
    Anyhow, this one gave me paws.
    

    G'day,
    
     Actually, it is a statement of fact, as showdogs are _far_ too snooty
    to consider such action... besides bitches in season get disqualified
    for cheating (they put the boy dogs into a state of mesmerism that
    precludes heeling for anyone!)
    
    djw

    My wife & I went through a litter of alternative hypotheses... 
    Including one, as exhortation to hang your feet outside the window
    (American slang for feet := "dogs").  In such a posture, it is
    well-nigh impossible to drive, let alone tailgate...
    
    And another, simpler exhortation, that we set a good example for the
    dogs by refraining.
    
    That's why we get along so well.. :-)
