Dear People With Bumper Stickers On Their Cars,

I too enjoy adhesive strips of paper with witty slogans on them. They're a lot of fun. What could, realistically, give more joy than to remind people of the importance of voting, or publically profess your affection for That Certain Band? You know, the one you saw in the summer of 69, or 78, or one of those other years when people seemed to do nothing but attend concerts?

However, I would like to make this statement as a small public service announcement: When you put more than 3 stickers on your car, you don't look cool. You just look crazy.

I suppose I'm not one to talk. My car proudly sports 2 bumper stickers, and this is one more sticker than I feel comfortable with. I think the single statement carries more impact. It's not really a billboard, the back of your car. And I'm looking at you, Mr. "I own a Jeep from 1979", you who likes to park right in front of the Greek Restaurant. I completely agree with your bumper stickered sentiments, by the way. "Straight but not narrow?" Rock on. Making the word "Bush" into "No more Bushit?" I can only approve. But with 20 or more bumper stickers, including the one that says "Call me" and then has your phone number, I dunno- I'm just- I'm sure you're a lovely person, and I'm sure we'd have a lot to talk about, but I'm just not certain that you'd be able to talk at a normal volume. You know, in a conversational, inside voice.
