"If guns were outlawed, only outlaws would accidently shoot their wife and kids"

Those are meant to be humorous? Hmm, maybe I should stop running them off the road, then.

"Support the Troops" and "God is with America" . both are strange and funny in some way.

"Bush - The President".

It makes me wonder, is the person driving that Hummer aware that his bumper sticker is tautologous?

That's nothing, not long ago I saw a Dukakis '88 bumper sticker. :smile: Last year I saw an '82 Reagan (although he actually won, so it's less interesting).

I like that one. The nice thing about that one is that at least we all won't sit at a four way stop wondering who should go first.

"Dyslexics Untie"

"Know Nukes!"

"Nuthin' Dummer than a..." (to be placed over the spare wheel of a Hummer)

Why specifically mention beavers and spoons in the phrase?

Beavers are known for their sharp teeth and ability to build dams, making them a potentially dangerous animal to poke. Spoons are a harmless object that would not be effective in defending oneself against a beaver, making them a comical choice to use in the phrase.

Where did the phrase originate from?

The exact origin of the phrase is unknown, but it is believed to have originated as a joke or meme on the internet. It has since become a popular catchphrase and has been used in various forms of media.

Is there a deeper meaning to the phrase?

No, the phrase is simply meant to be a lighthearted and humorous warning. However, some may interpret it as a metaphor for avoiding unnecessary conflicts or actions that could have negative consequences.

Can I use this phrase in a professional setting?

While the phrase may be appropriate in certain informal or comedic contexts, it is not recommended to use it in a professional setting. It is best to use discretion and consider the audience before using any type of humor in a professional setting.
