Bumper stickers are so American. They are personal statements shouted to the world while safely enscounced on a huge chunk of moving tin and plastic. And let’s admit it, the things we have plastered on our bumpers, we would never say out loud in a bar.

Consider for a sec, would you go into a strange watering hole, sidle up to a stranger and say, “Jesus loves you, everyone else thinks you're an asshole” Doubtful. But I’ve seen that one on a car. As I recall it was on a Mercedes. Rich, entitled and chicken.

Anonymity makes it all so safe. We can have opinions without the responsibility. Perhaps this is why we have so many bumper stickers on the 240 million American driven cars out there.

You can tell a lot about a person by their bumper sticker. Around New England a Red Sox or Patriots insignia is part of our tribal code. For some, it's a biological imperative. For others, it's a cultural imperative. Forget about Celtics and Bruins, those train wrecks need serious gene splicing to get into our Darwinian favor. Although the Celtics latest moves show a glimmer, let’s see what happens when the season starts.

The stickers with the least imagination and the most smugness are proud momma and poppa types. They sport “My Child Is Tops At OAHS - Over Achievers High School” Or even worse, “My three year old aced kindergarten” Who cares? This is too much information. If you must obnoxiously boast about your over-scheduled, over-praised little darling, do it in the confines of you home. I don’t want to hear about it or even worse, read it.

If we are going to announce our selves to the world, let's use humor and wit. We are in short supply of both and need more.

With that in mind, below are 30 bumper stickers that have the dubious distinction of bringing a smile to my wizened lips. I know there are tons more. If you know of some,leave a comment and share. The humor you save may be your own.
