I bet the dad made his daughter have that bumper sticker on the back of her car to scare guys who are interested in her. Guns are pretty popular where I'm from so there's lots of various bumper stickers related to them.

I've seen that one before. My eyes almost fell out of my head.

Did it really never occur to you that maybe the person who put it there was his ex-wife?

:roll:


I do recall once seeing some prank bumper stickers on ebay. Nearly all of them were of a homosexual nature.

I knew a guy who had a bunch of bumper stickers printed to slap on the bumpers of drivers who parked in two spaces. I thought it was brilliant!

I'm A sh***y Parker!

I saw another bumper sticker on ebay that said TRUTH: The New Hate Speech.

I totally agree. Because when I tell the truth online about the United States being a cess pool and most Americans being a**holes and Trump being a dick, I get accused of hate speech.

There is a kind of red neck outdoor hat called a "wife beater" (I suppose because it can be used to harmlessly smack someone).

So if it said "wife beater on board" it could refer to that.

But if it actually said "I'm a wife beater" then...gosh. I dunno. 8O .

I always heard those hats referred to as "trucker hats" because they were worn by over-the-road truck drivers back in the seventies and eighties. A "wife-beater" as article of clothing referred to the sleeveless T-shirt known as a "tank top."

The bumper sticker just said "WIFE BEATER" and was stuck on a clapped-out Ford Crown Victoria.

I can picture his wife at the thrift store now: "Mmhm. Teacups? Nope. Copier? Nope. Old cast-iron pan? Oh yes. That should do the trick..." :twisted:

I remember a Simpsons ep where Homer gained a bunch of weight so he could work from home. When he's supposed to be working he goes to see a movie called Honk If You're Horny :lol: It sounds like a kewl & funny bumper sticker & I did a Google search & found this on Amazon UK https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Horny-Funny-Bumper-Sticker/dp/B004TW4K5Q :arrow:

Way back when I was in junior high in circa 1970 I read an anectdote in Reader's Digest: someone said they were at a red light behind a car with a bumper sticker that said "Honk if You Love Jesus", so the narrator said "I enthusiastically honked my horn!". Then the driver of the car with bumper sticker jumped out and screamed "YOU @#$&@! Cant you see that I'm at a @#*@#* red light????".

Just go to Giant. Get a frozen leg of lamb, and use THAT as the murder weapon. And then bake it, and eat the evidence! :lol:

DANG!! !!


I just now googled "wearing a wife beater" , and it turns out that you're closer to the truth. Not a hat at all. Its not exactly a "tank top", but (according to one site) it is a type of sleeveless white under shirt. No one seems to know how the garment got that name. But an undershirt is not as handy a thing to affectionately and harmless smack someone in public at a summer cookout as a hat would be. So the implication is that you would wear it WHILE beating your wife in the privacy of your home. DANG! What a sick name for a garment! I heard the term a few times, and I guess that I was being TOO sane and logical in trying to figure out what it meant!

Again: no one seems to know how the garment got that name.

Those are really good example of strange bumper stickers.

I will change subjects for just a second, think of it as an intermission. This reminds me of an incident in the restroom of a local Sam's club. Phones can have ringtones that signal who is calling you. Some ringtones can be a verbal. So while in the restroom, someones phone rang and the ringtone screamed our loud WARNING! WARNING! WIFE ON THE LINE! WARNING! WARNING!. Of all places to pick for the ringtone to blare out I think the Men's restroom was the worse. I imagine he was very embarrassed. I suspect his wife programmed his phone.

O.K. Intermission is over. Back to the discussion of strangest bumper stickers.

It’s a dry county here with rough rocky roads so we used to have one on the truck that said,” Don’t drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill it.”
My old car had this one,” Buckle up, it makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out.”
People used to put these on their car, “ My child is an honor student”, then the reply one,” My child can whup your honor student.”
Right now I’m sporting an Impeach Trump on my truck.
