POLITICALLY-INCORRECT BUMPER STICKERS —————- by Steve Nadis

I forgot to mention a new category in the sweepstakes: Politically-Incorrect Bumper Stickers. Here are the first three entries in what will prove to be, I’m sure, a heated competition:

I brake for Republicans.

I brake for rednecks.

I brake for idiots.

Don’t get caught in the post-Independence Day rush; send your entries in without delay. The rewards, though hard to describe, are immense.

    You know I can’t resist these high-stakes contests. Here goes:

    1) Stop the war–draft Jenna and Barbara Bush!
    2) I speed up for Karl Rove.
    3) If you can read this, you’re smarter than our President.
    4) Bush: the persistent vegetative President.

    Gatemouth — These are excellent. I like 1-3 best; we could have a thriving bumper sticker business.

    These ideas are great. Send them to Northern Sun http://www.northernsun.com/cgi-bin/ns/submitideas.html and get a reward.

    I just sent them a couple of ideas, not nearly as good as Gatemouth’s:

    Bumper sticker 1:

    Picture of jock strap made of yellow ribbon, with the slogan "Support Our Nuts" on it. For extra credit you could have "Bush" and "Dick" in small letters somewhere on the jockstrap.

    Bumper sticker 2:

    Picture of brassiere made of yellow ribbon, with the slogan "Support Our Boobs" on it.

    Thanks CL for your graphic suggestions. I hope Gatemouth follows your advice & sends his ideas to Northern Sun. It’s good to know of that site, which I hadn’t heard about before.

    This is what Northern Sun sent me. Now I know how Snark feels about his rejection from the Funny Humor Web Ring. Somehow I don’t really believe that they appreciate my submission.

    Unfortunately, due to the volume of mail we answer, you are receiving the
    dreaded rejection form letter.
    The reasons for rejecting ideas vary greatly.
    All rejections have in common that we don’t think it will sell, that we have
    something similar already, or that it just doesn’t fit our market.
    We appreciate that you sent us your submission.

    Sincerely,

    Catalog Committee
    Northern Sun

    Don’t get down on yourself, CL. They obviously wouldn’t know a good bumper sticker if it rear-ended them in the breakdown lane. Putting it in a positive light, every true writer–be it the writer of an epic novel or a bumper sticker–has to face rejection. You are now a true writer.
