I'm teaching a summer course in American humor for foreign students, and
I'd love to hear about any bumperstickers you've seen recently with
humorous messages.

Thanks.

National Lampoon used to offer a set of various sized stickers of screws
to put on people's bumper stickers where they used hearts (I heart my
dog, I heart my wife, etc.)

Or have you seen "I <screw> my dog"? I've heard about being able to buy
stick-on pictures of screws so you can change bumper stickers to read that
way. Hmmmmm... practical joke?

I remember seeing an ad in _National Lampoon_ about this sort of thing: you
could get round, white stickers with a picture of a screw to cover the heart
in those stupid "I (heart) my dog" bumper stickers. It would then look as
if they said "I (screw) my dog."

I wish that I had bought about fifty cases of them. ;)

This is particularly amusing for me here in England where "pissed" has a
completely different meaning!

yeah, tell me about it. i (having been born in england, but raised in the
u.s.) went back to england for a few years in '83. i had a splendid london
girl for a girlfriend. i was telling her about something that had
particularly annoyed me, and told her "boy, was i pissed!"

this caused considerable confusion for about three weeks afterward. sigh...

To say "I am pissed off" means I am annoyed, much like "I am pissed"
in the US.

However if I say "I am pissed" it means I am drunk.

"Piss off" is, as you say, a way of asking someone to go forth and
multiply.

When I practiced law in El Cajon a few years ago, the marshalls had made
up a bumper sticker reading

My Daughter Was Inmate of the Month
at Las Colinas Women's Detention Center .

They had also added tissue ropes to the picture of the building in the
holding cell following eh "kick out the drywall and go down on a

Not a bumper sticker, but definitely American humor:

The John Birch society is always good for a couple of fun ones, so I
walked by their booth at the Iowas State Fair today. Slim pickings,
nothing really good but, "Eliminate shortages: ration government"

Now, this is the fair which made national news a couple of years ago
when the pork queen (yes, really) responded to the PETA assailants with
pies by throwing a pie back at them! They were, of course, outraged by
such behavior on the part of their victim.

I was therefore surprised to see a booth with PETA t-shirts, untill I
got close enought to read them. I bought a swetshirt proclaiming:
PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals."

And while paying for it, I noticed another one: "Will Rojers never met
Bill Clinton." The gal behind the table said hardly anyone gets that
one.

Lots. Seen on the back of a Cadillac Seville, in Alberta (the OIL province):

As a matter of fact, yes, I DO own the road.

Seen on a Porsche 944:

Alarm system by Smith & Wesson.

Seen on a very nice looking Camaro Berlinetta:

If you value your life like I value my car, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF.

Seen on the front bumper of a pontiac, with the letters reversed so that
you had to read them in a mirror.

AMBULANCE
chaser

(Up here, at least, the letters AMBULANCE on the front of ambulances are
similarly reversed. I assume this is a universal phenomenon.)

Seen on be back of a pickup truck in Saskatchewan:

mind when it hits your windshield?
It's Ass.

An elementary logic course would tell you that this is not true.
What the first statement does imply, though, is that being a Texan
opens up the possibility of being shit, whereas no others have that
opportunity.

Some advice when mounting this particular bumper sticker on your
vehicle...be very nice to the policemen who stop your car, because you
*WILL* be stopped quite often. I speak from painful experience...and I
have a "safe driver" classification on my license. This is one bumper
sticker that you will probably remove from your bumper very shortly
after applying it.
