To add to all this bumper fun, I recall seeing a sticker on Guam that
all of us at the University wanted to snag,

From a local meat and dairy product distributor:

     "You can whip our cream, but you can't beat our meat."

Strange, but fun.

In New Mexico, I saw "Visualize Whirled Peas" on a Volkswagen bus...

Hmmmm
