Sharing what I've seen on bumper stickers.
"This is Tao, that was Zen."
"What Would Wellstone Do?" Wellstone was a senator from Minnesota that died in a private plane crash on the eve of the 2000 elections. He followers must have loved him because this saying came from another bumper sticker, "What Would Christ Do?"
"If you can read this, you are too close." In tiny letters.
"Don't follow me, I don't know where I'm going either." This was seen when I was a kid on a very long (two week) road trip with my grandparents. Instead of asking for directions, my grandfather would frequently follow other RVs to find camp grounds. This method was effective about 50% of the time. It was acceptable odds for my grandfather.
"Forget world peace. Visualize using your turn signal."
"Imagine." When I saw this on some one's bumper in the university town I went to school at, I hummed this song for the rest of the day.
"Good-bye Yellow Brick Road." Given out at graduation from the university I went to. When on the bumper of a car it usually denoted that person refused to leave university and went to grad school there, too. I also hummed this for the rest of the day. What university did I graduate from?
"Help starve a feeding bureaucrat."
"I majored in liberal arts. Would you like fries with that?"
"Stop repeat offenders. Don't re-elect them!'
"Born Free. . . . .Taxed to Death"
"Annoy a Liberal...Work hard and smile."
