Displaying that bumper sticker would be a good way to enable you to initiate a claim with your insurance company for the replacement of your car, if that is your aim.

They *know* they are. But at least you don't have to worry about your car being stolen - That's way too much trouble; and besides, afterwards it's a hassle for them to try and figure out what they're going to do with it. The best way to handle the situation here is to just drop a lite book of matches down your fuel tank......you know, the ones they give you (that has a picture of jesus on the cover) every time you score a fresh pack of smokes at Cigarette City. Yesseree, in there parts you're talking guns and religion.

9. All of mine are on magnetic backing so I can swap them around - ONLY 1 HAS BEEN STOLEN!

It was one my eldest daughter got at college - a graphic of a condom that said "JUST WEAR IT!"

To be fair, I DID have it positioned in a somewhat "erect" position coming out of the license plate. I'm not sure if it was stolen or thrown out in disgust, but either way I really don't care. It was cracking and getting worn out anyway.

I move them around. Sometimes the car is plastered in them ("FOX NEWS: When facts don't matter", "A man of quality is not threatened by a woman seeking equality", "If you can't use your turn signal, what makes you think you can operate the rest of the car?", -Arrow pointing right- "Slower minds keep right", etc.)

If I'm taking it to a mechanic, I can remove all of them so I don't have to worry about getting ripped off because I'm a liberal and the mechanic is a wingnut. I bought the magnetic sheeting in a roll and it cuts easily with scissors. I've got three "Obama 08" ovals on the filing cabinets right now along with a bunch of other transients. I'm waiting for my 2012 stickers to arrive.

10. My only bumper sticker is more religious but...

... the only thing going to take that sucker off is Mother Nature... or God Himself. Especially around these parts.

It simply reads "Luke 10:27".

It's religious and political all in one. Those who believe there is no god, ok... just part b of that quotation applies to you.

However the OP has given me food for thought. Maybe I should post this somewhere on the vehicle...

فأجاب: "'تحب الرب إلهك من كل قلبك وروحك مع كل وكل قوتك وعقلك مع جميع'؛، وتحب قريبك كنفسك.

(I know no Arabic, but this is Google Translating what Luke 10:27 actually is).

ps me likey the pic and what the message reads.

14. I got two hate mail letters (anonymous of course) because of my LTTEs anti-Bush.

I think it was the same guy. The first letter had some sexual references, suggesting vile acts between me and President Clinton, hah! The second LTTE was signed by hubby and me so the guy (I think it was the same one) just slobbered some shit about Democrats and Obama...
