This one I saw tooling around Ft. Worth today. It really made me appreciate what we still have left. "I'm Canadian. It's like being American, but without the gun."

Good one, and true.
Here's one I saw that cracked me up. A real put-down of all bumper stickers.
"Nuke the gay baby whales for Jesus"
Qtip Soli Deo Gloria!

There are two very different ways to look at that statement. I would view as a complaint, rather than a boast.
Mine just says "Jindal for Governor" and I'm keeping my fingers crossed, know what I'm saying?
Now with even more aplomb

10-4. I didn't take it as a boast either. Actually, I never considered that anyone would boast about not being free enough to own a gun. I think I'm leaning Jindal too. He's far and above the rest of the field with the exception of the cat that want's to do away with our State tax. But then I wonder, what will he replace it with?

My older daughter was an undergrad at the University of Arizona years ago when the reigning fuss was the illegal shooting of feral burros in the Grand Canyon. With some amusement, she reported seeing this graffito on a campus sidewalk:
Nuke the burros

I saw one advertised that said, "Heaven is not a whorehouse". I'm assuming that this is a reference to the 72 virgins thing.

� "Heaven is not a whorehouse" � A colleague of mine once referred to many shallow Christians' concept of Heaven as "a celestial Disneyland where all the rides are free."

Before preaching a sermon in Dad's pulpit one Sunday, I stashed in the lectern a Daisy BB pistol that from a yard or two away was indistinguishable from a Colt single-action. When I stood-up to preach, I asked "How many of you want to go to Heaven?" and asked for a show of hands. The grins 'way out-numbered the hands, but several hands went up.
I took the Daisy out and said "All right, let's form a line there, and a line there." (Lots of grins then! It was gun country in those days, and everybody there knew me well enough not to be surprised by unorthodox preaching.)
Then the sermon � the point that (a) as it is, we hope that when we die, we'll go to Heaven rather than to Hell but (b) if we truly understood Heaven, we'd prefer There to here.

I guess I'm not ready for that part of the research - I like where I am and want nothing different.

Sorry ol' Jim Folsom's campaign motto one year was the inane "Y'all come!" (at least he had the apostrophe in the right place). After he won the election, a Birmingham-area bumper sticker � same color, same type face � said "Don't blame me. Y'all done it."

My all-time favorite was a very old political bumper sticker during the Goldwater-Johnson Presidential election...
"Johnwater For President"
Hunt with Class and Classics
Religion: A founder of The Church of Spray and Pray
Acquit v. t. To render a judgment in a murder case in San Francisco... EQUAL, adj. As bad as something else. Ambrose Bierce “The Devil's Dictionary”

Sounds like a true statement to me.
During the gas crunch in the 70's I sported one on my truck that read "EAT BEANS, AMERICA NEEDS THE GAS".
My current favorite is "HANG UP AND DRIVE!"

I guess I'm not ready for that part of the research � � and I'm content to leave it all up to Him. As long as He wants me to stay here, I'll stay. I've often begged Him to take me home, and I'll be glad when He punches my ticket. My mother died, went there, and was brought back (in the hospital) against her fervent wishes. For the rest of her life, she longed to go back and was continually frustrated by her inability to describe to us how wonderful it was. Great was her joy when her time finally came.
