fun with negatives (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Jonathan Lighter]

I don't know where you pointy-headed intellectuals live, but 'round here we
got bumper stickers up the wazoo.

You don't need a bumper. You just need a vehicle with a rear end.

Twitter won't cut it because the bumper sticker is both more blatant - it
catches your eye and, if you're at a red light, evolution forces you to read
it - and more subtle - you never know when you're going to notice one,
source unknown.
