paddyjoe's post reminded me of the "baby on board" signs that every third car and every other minivan had in the eighties. Was that somehow supposed to make me choose some other car to have an accident with? I actually took it to mean watch out while I try to settle the kids and wipe the snot of jr's face. I'm glad those are all gone now.
I also remember going on a family vacation back in the seventies. It wasn't uncommon to get an "I visited such and such a place" bumper stickers stuck to your car unless you had done something like placed the visors in a certian position to signal you didn't want a bumper sticker. Can you imagine the grief a place like that would receive if that was done today?
