    My best friend sent me a great bumper sticker:
    
    "Women Make Great Leaders!
     You're following one!"
    
    I like it.

    Since discountinued in Pittsburgh:
    
    "RUGBY PLAYERS EAT THEIR DEAD".
    
    The 197? Univ. of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Rugby Team took this too seriously
    and swiped some lobotomy victims from the Cadaver Lab and brought
    them onto the field during Pre-Game for ball practice.
    
    Hence, no more RUGBY stickers and the team was suspended and also
    discontinued for some years.  I think they have since reinstated
    the sport.
                          

    Irresistable comment from my peer about .24 Note:
    
    "And I thought 'Dead Heads' were going to hear a Rock Concert!!"

    My favorite was a compound bumper sticker, made from two popular ones

    	50,000 coyotes can't be wrong.

    The best one I ever saw had "Mom's Taxi."  Talk about truth in
    advertising.

    
    
    "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person"

    Back in the early seventies I saw an old, beat-up van with peace
    signs, big flowers, and other assorted symbols painted all over
    it with a bumper-sticker that read: "Don't laugh, your daughter
    might be in here".  My mother laughed even though she had no
    idea where my sisters were.

	RE: .16,.18 The Shoemobiles sell the shoes to DEC who buys them
	for employees that have to work in areas that require safety or
	ESD shoes. The employee gets a vaucher brings it to the truck,
	picks out and trys on the shoes. The shoe company sends DEC the
	bill. It isn't an odd concept at all. Many manufacturing facilities
	that require safety shoes do it. The shoes are for the companies
	well being , especially in the case of ESD, so it makes sense for
	the company to pick up the tab and make things as easy as possible
	for the employee.

	BTW, they do make steel toe 'sneakers'. I wouldn't play basketball
	in them but they look ok.

re .16, .18, .33

    Since I posted that I decided to look up "ZINK" in the white
    pages...sho 'nuf, they're a safety equipemnt company, and
    their ad in the yellow pages mentions this, that, and the
    other, and safety shoes.  No doubt that's what was in the
    "Safety Shoemobile."

    Actually, I think I was having more fun being completely
    weirded out.  ;)

I've seen this one (and ones like it) on bumper stickers and tee shirts.
Frankly, I find it offensive.  I guess I dislike drinking and driving as
much as the next person, but there's no excuse for sliming a perfectly
decent name along the way.

Had they said "Don't be like Dick." instead of the last line, I wouldn't
have a problem with it.  Meanwhile, I'm still

Re:  my .40, on "Don't be a Dick."

A clarification:  I find the slogan offensive, but I'm not offended that it
was posted here.  I posted my reply with the hope that those who invent snappy
slogans will think about them a bit more carefully in the future.

I was definitely not suggesting that .23 be deleted.

 "My wife said it was fishing or her...

 Since this is tantamount to a =wn= lite, can we forgo the "woman" vs. "girl"
arguments? I didn't write the bumper sticker.

Re .27, .29:

I used to have a stupid yellow sign that said "stupid yellow sign on board."
It  was particularly fun because I parked my car next to an obnoxious yuppie
couple's  car  (not  to  imply  that all yuppies are de facto obnoxious, but
these  ones  were)  with  a  "baby  on  board"  sign...  That was rare luck,
considering  the  complex  we  lived  in. I guess it was because the man was
doing his internship...  But enough digression.

One I would like to see, preferably on a Rolls:

	"My other car is a VW"

    the best of both ends of the price spectrum.  Since he had a decent
    sense of humor, I always expected him to show up one day with such a
    sticker, but in fact he never did that I noticed.

		SCREW GUILT

Which reminds me of another saying, yet to be seen on a bumper sticker:

		GUILT - The gift that keeps on giving!

    1) My all-time favorite:

    we use it in Narragansett Bay, we sometimes find ourselves in the Newport

    Don't know if this one's been entered yet:
    
    Women belong in the House ...

    saw one the other day that was new to me...
    
    "if you can't feed 'em

    re .101, .102
    
    I got the bumper sticker slightly wrong.
    It really reads:
    
    A woman's place is in the House...
    and the Senate

    re: "A woman's place. . ."
    
    I suggest that one for 90's might be:
    
    Woman's place is in the House,. . .
    the Senate, and the Oval Office.

    Or...

    As I was saying to a friend last night, I'm embarrassed to admit this,
    but....
    
    Recently I was following a car with several feminist bumper stickers on
    it.  One said:
    
    	KEEP YOUR LAWS
    	 OFF MY BODY
    
    But part of the upper right corner was torn off, with only parts of the
    "S" showing.  I'd hate to tell you how many minutes I was puzzled.  I
    couldn't figure out what that meant - "Keep your lawn off my body."  I
    had a good laugh at myself when I realized what it really said.

    The way I interpret the Alaska bumper sticker is the second line
    implying that women are a shared commodity (sp?), and the whole
    thing implying that they are passed around.  It could be a reference
    to dating, meaning that a man has to wait until a "taken" woman
    is available again, but the way it is worded it evokes a gang rape
    to me.

    Re .120, .122:
    
    This might help to comprehend the bumper sticker:  I think that, at
    least in places, there is a very high male to female ratio in Alaska.
    Also, prostitution might be prevalent.  If you still don't understand
    and you want to, send mail.

You must have a different Far Side calender than me, Bonnie.  Today's Far
Side show's a big mammoth on its back with a hole in his side, and two
cave men (presumably Thak and Og) with spears in their hands and gunk all
over them, shaking hands.  The caption reads "So!  Let's do this again real
soon."

?????

D!

    The one I was describing came from the Boston Herald.

    sort of a cave man version of the modern 'power' lunch?

Took me a minute to.  The elephant is dead and his insides are gone, the two
cavemen are covered with guts.  And the one says to the other "So!...
Let's do it again real soon."

In other words, let's do lunch again sometime.......just a meal, ya know?

    Thanks for adding the comment about the 'eyeball on the couch'.  
    I thought I was really losing it.  I couldn't, for the life of
    me, figure that one out.

 Wait a minute, I understand the eyeball on the couch!!!

	 I knew there was something wrong with you....  ;-)


	 Actually, the Mr. Pembrose (the eyeball) on the couch
	 "probably" (as Gary Larson puts it) means that someone who
	 was just an eye would probably have a lot of hatred toward
	 the world......But Gary also puts after that "okay, so it
	 probably doesn't work"

	 ;-)

	 So, Doctah, what is YOU interpretation?

	 kat

 Eyeball interpretation:

 Imagine the feelings a dwarf has with respect to the rest of the world. 
S/he is considered abnormal, small, childlike in stature. Even everyday things
that we take for granted are more difficult. Opening doors, getting onto a 
chair, using a public restroom. EVERYONE looks down at you and upon you.
Now imagine this take to the limit (calculus style), where the person's body
is so small, they appear to be nothing more than an eyeball. Imagine the
resentment such a person would have.

 Well, that's about as well as I can explain it by using language. Remember-
it's a Larson. :-)

 The Doctah

    The Doctah and I have something in common?  
    
    Tell me it isn't true! :>)
    
    I, too, understand the eyeball.
    
    Maybe this belongs in true confessions, but I understand (and like)
    Larson.  And Adams. And a couple of other real sickos.

Yup so did I.  I even went back and looked at it today, and sure enough, I
*still* got it.  (BTW, it is Jan 29 on the Off-The_Wall calendar for anyone
who doesn't know what we are talking about.)

>    Maybe this belongs in true confessions, but I understand (and like)

So do I, most of the time.  The Mammoth one may have had me clueless but
usually I get ones (even if I get them *wrong* they are still funny) that
others don't.

Can you say "Rathole"?  I knew you could.

D! 

>    I, too, understand the eyeball.



	 Well, then perhaps you all should write a letter to Larson
	 and explain it to him........


	 I guess it's all a matter of perception.....Things mean what
	 we want them to mean.



	 I don't know if I've put this Bumper Sticker in tis
	 conference or not...
