My fav bumper sticker::

"I Love whales;- They taste so good"

(The love thing is a red heart shape, of course)

Aren't those stickers cute? One of these days, I swear, I'm going to have a bunch of stickyback pictures of a wood screw made, and paste over as many of those kinds of stickers (even those with two pictures, one of a heart and one of a collie) as I can....
