436.0. "Favourite Sayings" by CHIC::PETERS (E Unibus Plurum) Thu Nov 19 1987 02:03

I haven't seen a note for this, so I thought I'd open one.

I often see slogans, bumper stickers, advertising phrases etc that
really tickle me, so I think it would fun to compile a set of
"Favourite Sayings"

Do you know one?  I'll start:



Of all the things I have lost recently, what I miss most is my mind.

436.2Here's my two.NATASH::AIKENWhat cheer, Netop?Thu Nov 19 1987 16:0217
    There's a warm spot in my heart for those who persue agricultural
    endeavors (care to see my feed and seed bills?), so my favorite
    is this simple admonition:
    
    	"Don't talk about farmers with your mouth full."
    
    And there's a warm spot in Hell for tailgaters, so for them I would
    display this:
    
    	"		W A R N I N G 			"
    
    	" THIS VEHICLE STOPS FOR NO APPARENT REASON     "

436.3A couple of contributions...GRNDAD::STONERoyFri Nov 20 1987 09:109
    One that I got a good chuckle from was a bumper sticker which read:
    
    "Happiness is seeing your mother-in-law's picture on the side of
     a milk carton."
    
    ...which leads to another favorite:
    
    "I'll start believing in equality of the sexes when I hear my first
     _father-in-law_ joke."

re: .2

I saw an elderly flatbed chevy truck with farm license plates bearing the
bumber sticker:

	CRIME DOES NOT PAY.
  	It's a lot like farming..
