Stick It

Speaking of bumper stickers, I saw an intriguing one over the weekend.  Can't remember the exact wording, but it was something like "THINK FOR YOURSELF/ SO FEW PEOPLE THINK AT ALL."

Is a mass-produced bumper sticker really the best place to announce people should think for themselves?

Odder still, when you think about it, these words of advice are pretty insulting.  We're supposed to read it and think the first line refers to us, but it's the second that tells us what we really are.

I should have raced ahead and cut the guy off.  When he complained I'd say "Sorry, I wasn't thinking."

Fish is the second best thing that smells like fish...... (OK context-on a pickup truck in a seaside tourist community and with other stickers extolling lesbian pride)
