Bumper Stickers

What's the funniest and/or most offensive bumber sticker you have seen lately?

Today while at the grocery store I saw one that said "Old pilots never die, they just go to a different plane," which I thought was cute. Then on the way home some snit nearly killed me and on her car was all sort of Darwin walking fish with a bumber sticker that said "Born good enough the first time." For some reason, this absolutely enraged me. I wanted to drive on her bumper for the next 15 miles and shake my fist at her, a completely UN-Christian response!! Of course, I have an Episcopal shield on my back window so I thought better of the whole thing. I mean, how would that look if I am advertizing my church while behaving like a crazy woman? How bizarre that some $1.50 sticker affixed to our bumper lets everyone know sooooo much about us. Good thing I remembered mine and behaved accordingly by just driving home while shaking my head.

It's the same thing with sorority letters on the back of your car. Or on your t-shirt, tote bag, flip flops, or jewelry. I wouldn't want to do anything to disrespect my sisters or chapter, so theoretically I should behave myself when displaying all that. Sometimes I find it a little hypocritical that I think about that only when wearing my letters or with a shield on my car. Shouldn't I honor those symbols by being like that all the time?

Now if only I could figure out how to behave ALL the time....

I saw a bumper sticker a couple of days ago that said: "Texas, it's bigger than France."
