[Ads-l] memorable bumper sticker

[Jonathan Lighter]

I see it again on Buzzfeed along with a few other gems.

It seems to have taken a while to become a general aphorism. From
Newspapers.com:

[1930 _Arizona Daily Star_ (Oct. 19) 10: Don't believe everything you think
and see when watching a football game.]

1934 _Harrisbourg [Pa.]  Telegraph_ (Nov. 23) 7: SAGITTARIUS THE ARCHER. by
WYNN.  Don't believe everything you think, especially today, especially in
money matters.

1949 _Evening Standard_ (London, Eng.) (Dec. 13) 8: _Don't believe
everything you see_ is excellent advice; but there's a better rule. Don't
believe everything you _think_.

1970 _Tulsa Daily World_  (March 10) B-1: Next: Don't believe everything
you think.

1994 _Anchorage Daily News_ (Sept. 8) F-4: Don't Believe Everything You
Think.

Etc.
