Now you haven't mentioned my 2 favorite bumper stickers (which I placed there personally lo these many years ago):<br/><br/>-Ben & Jerry's-themed: "If it's not fun, why do it?" (I believe you used to have the Ben & Jerry's-themed: "Business has a responsibility to give back to the community." We're both right.)<br/><br/>And my personal favorite, "CUT CORPORATE WELFARE."<br/><br/>I also used to have a South Park sticker, a South of the Border sticker I picked up on a college road trip, and I believe the smiley face is still there but it's pretty faded. As John can attest, I love covering things in stickers (thanks for saving my guitar, John!).<br/><br/>PS My bike has a "Bike Against Bush" sticker on it. I'd like to get more stickers for it.
