My husband thinks he can win "the Bumper sticker War" against me.
I got a new car last week and I've been looking for bumper stickers for it.
I told my husband I'm going to get an evolvefish emblem, and he said,
"you're not putting anything on the car."
I summoned up my keenest persuasive argumentation skills, plied my mental lexicon for the most articulate and constructive words, and said,
"Oh yes I am!"
The conversation progressed in such fashion:
"No you're not!"
"Yes I AM!"
"NO! You're not!"
"Yes I am! It's MY car!"
"No! It's OUR car!"
"No! It's MY car, and I AM putting bumper stickers on it, so you might as well just quit now."

I'm pretty certain he thinks he can stop me. If he takes my stickers off, I am super-gluing this to the back of his truck:




I am dead serious. I will do it.

14. You'd think after twelve years, he'd have figured it out.
He must be hopelessly optimistic.

4. Wait a second... "his" truck?
He has "his" truck, but the car you have to share?

15. See! YES!
The truck is so nasty and gross that I wouldn't really want to be associated with it, but that's beside the point...

8. Miz t. declared the new Prius a 'no-bumper-sticker zone'.
But I can stick what I want on the 4 year old mini-van.
We compromise.

9. Do you have 'your car' and 'his car'?
We just have 'our cars'.

13. You're lucky. I don't even own my hair.
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 06:50 PM by Kutjara
When I told my wife I was thinking of shaving my head, she said "no." I said, "What do you mean 'no'? It's my hair. I can do what I want with it." She replied, "Actually, it's our hair."

And "our hair" it has remained.

21. Well, at least who 'owns' hair isn't one of our problems.
I have a grayish white fringe.
Shiny on top.

20. May I suggest a compromise?
"MAGNETIC BUMPER STICKER HOLDER
Attach a favorite bumper sticker to this Magnet Bumper Sticker Holder and put it on your car or any magnetic surface. You could have a different message every week. There is a magnetic side and a non-magnetic side. Be sure to put the sticker on the non-magnetic side. Bumper Sticker Holder is 3" x 12 1/2"."


available from Northern Sun:http://www.northernsun.com/n/s/2412.html?id=BjoFSeBk

That way, when you're driving the car, it gets a bumper sticker. When he does, it doesn't. This will also eliminate any arguments about marring the paint.

24. I gotta better compromise:
He shuts the fuck up and Lara does a victorious Dance of the Seven Chipmunks around his defeated Republic ass.

28. Now why would you give up a moving billboard.
It's the last free speech in this country. In '04 someone had calculated that a bumpersticker is worth $400 in advertising.

Gottah have an evolve fish. 'Course I wouldn't want to be the cause of trouble between you and the Princess.
