I have never allowed a bumper sticker, like one of these, to hitch a ride on my truck or car. I've got opinions. Don't you worry about that. Some I wear on my sleeve; others might have to be uncovered. And every once and a while I can go on a rant. I've been accused of have quite a sense of humor too, so this often factors into the mix. For the most part, I rant on without a filter, and this too can be problematic at times. Often these conversations end with friends, causal acquaintances and colleagues walking away shaking their heads. The aging process, I think, has helped me keep my friendships though. Friends turn to friends and just say, "You know, he's ..." and quote my age. Want to know my opinion on all this crap sticking to the back window of this pick-up? Just ask. I don't have to clutter my truck's back bumper with them for all the world to see. I'm a bit more secure then that!

I once had that clutter, and not sure since when my car has nothing on it except the road tax and insurance sticker ! maybe I am getting old ...
ReplyDeleteSo many opinions, so little time. Keep life simple.
ReplyDeleteGetting the feeling that the truck owner wants to vent . . . :)
ReplyDeleteI love this photo -- and I love the fact the owner has this collection. Free speech -- gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteWell, I appreciate having ready reading material while waiting at a traffic light. And then I enjoy imagining sitting around the dinner table with the person I've invented from reading their bumper stickers.
ReplyDeleteBet this is a young adult that is expressing their opinions. Rather see this than a rifle riding in a sling in the back window. Good for him or her. No harm done.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh. wonder how many people have been converted by a bumper sticker. After doing some quick math, I'd say zero.
ReplyDeletehear hear!
ReplyDeleteGood catch. The people who smear their cars like this tend more to the left rather than the right, but I've seen some scary examples of ultra-conservative coo coo cars, like this one: http://bit.ly/jNmr5E . Check out all the pro-smoking signs.
ReplyDeleteI like to read them on other people's car but none on my own!
ReplyDeleteWhat would Yoda do? Good one, that is!
ReplyDeleteMore to the point can he even SEE out his back window?? A few more stickers and he's driving side mirrors only!!
ReplyDeletePeople like this don't have all their bolts tightened. Me opinionated? Not much.
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen that car around here.
