Bumper Stickers: Windows Unto the Soul?

Here's an amusing piece by someone who pines for the days when bumper stickers were more ubiquitous (I pine for those days too).

This little anecdote tickled my funny bone:

A pastor friend of mine tells of the time he was driving through Western Montana one gorgeous summer morning. Sunlight bounced off the mountains and shimmered through the pines as Preacher wended his way. Suddenly, he saw a car ahead proclaiming, “Honk If You Love Jesus.”

Delighted, and overflowing with good will, Preacher pulled alongside the car, honked, waved and smiled. Imagine his surprise when the other driver flashed a sour face and a one-finger wave.

Two pieces of advice, people:

1) For the love of Pete, buy more bumper stickers!

2) Having a bumper sticker on your car is an awesome responsibility; be prepared to stand behind that slogan 24/7.

OK, three pieces of advice:

3) If you see the Buddha on the side of the road, do whatever you think is best, but try not to flip off your local clergyman.
