bumper stickers and graphic tees

Sounds like an album by Augustana or Teitur or something...

Running errands always results in me thinking that I am better than most people in the world. Now...we all know this is entirely UN-true...but I was at Wal-mart, so it's slightly understandable, right?

Anyway...on my way into wal-mart I saw a bumper sticker on a truck that said, "Silly boys, trucks are for girls." It was probably on a Ford Ranger or something. You see...although I have seen bumper stickers like this many a time before...it struck a new chord with me today. I asked myself, "Why would this girl think that trucks would be specially designed only to accommodate girls?" It was like she put the sticker on laughing at boys naivete (is that a word, Allison?) for thinking that trucks could actually be driven by boys. So let's think about this for a second...if trucks were only allowed to be driven by one gender, which would it be? Well...what are trucks used for?

1. Hauling Lumber.
2. Carrying Surfboards
3. Moving furniture
4. Hauling dirt
5. Driving your friends around illegally without seatbelts.

Now, although I'm a girl myself...I'm going to have to say that all of these 5 activities are TYPICALLY done by boys. Therefore, in conclusion (redundant much?) Girls...embrace your estrogen and buy a jetta.


Graphic Tees

In Walmart again...I saw a shirt that said, "Shh...that's the sound of nobody caring what you have to say."

I think we've taken this "t-shirts communicating with someone who's reading it" trend a bit too far. That's just mean. And besides...I wasn't even saying anything...I was reading the t-shirt. It's probably difficult to have a conversation with someone WHILE reading their t-shirt. It was probably being worn by the girl driving that truck...that would just figure.

Ok...I'm done being mean for the day.
