(stick on upside down) "if you can read this, please roll me over."
 
"If guns were outlawed, only outlaws would accidently shoot their wife and kids"

"Custer wore an Arrow shirt"

Best ever was way back in the seventies - It had "Jesus saves" in block letters, but added in a hand-written scrawl style was "but Esposito scores on the rebound"

Uh, but then I wouldn't need advice from bumper stickers, would I? :smile:

Those are meant to be humorous? Hmm, maybe I should stop running them off the road, then.

"Support the Troops" and "God is with America" . both are strange and funny in some way.
 
"Bush - The President".

It makes me wonder, is the person driving that Hummer aware that his bumper sticker is tautologous?

That's nothing, not long ago I saw a Dukakis '88 bumper sticker. :smile: Last year I saw an '82 Reagan (although he actually won, so it's less interesting).

I like that one. The nice thing about that one is that at least we all won't sit at a four way stop wondering who should go first.

"Know Nukes!"

"Nuthin' Dummer than a..." (to be placed over the spare wheel of a Hummer)
