Subject: I miss Detroit
To: Me
Last week I was in Charlotte and I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that read"I miss Detroit".
So I broke the window, stole the radio and left a note that read "I hope this helps."
To which I replied:
Heh. Along those same lines... I got a Romney bumper sticker in the mail this week. I thought about putting it on the Caddy before I went to ABQ this week... but, no. I don't want my new car keyed.
And she came back with:
A wise move, my dear. I think you would have way more fun driving to Santa Fe and leaving it on the bumper of a Prius.
That's a GREAT ideer, but Santa Fe is a lil far for a prank. So we changed our mind, sorta:
Tempting fate, is what I'm doin'.
Well, you're NO fun at ALL!
ReplyDeleteOh, and at first glance, I thought the name on your dealer plate frame was actually a personal mission statement. I rather liked it.
Oh, and at first glance...
ReplyDeleteWell, now that ya mention it... ;-)
LOL. 'Cause I wuz thinkin' you were channelling/paying hommage to BENDER, the beer-swilling, cigar-smoking robot from the cartoon series Futurama. Ever watch it? Not only "Bender" but the entire cast is a gas and the entire series is almost "Bullwinkian" in it's tongue-in-cheek subversive political satire.
ReplyDeleteUmmm... how old is Futurama? (I never saw it, btw) Could I have been a role-model and not even known it? I might need an attorney.
Delete"BENDER FOR PRESIDENT!"
ReplyDeleteThe neat thing about bumper stickers is that, as opposed to tattoos, they are easily removed ...painlessly.
ReplyDeleteYup. No guilt, either.
DeleteI've never put a political sticker on my car, but I love the idea of putting one on someone else's vehicle.
