=============
Signs on the back of cars are pretty good - just be reasonably sure
the victim parks in such a way that he doesn't see the back of his
car when he gets in, and you're all set.

I used to do that to a co-worker (who had a great sense of humour),
but it quickly turned into mutual paranoia... The first one was the
best. The sign said something like "CAUTION: Daydreaming yuppie
breeder at the wheel. Wave if you're fertile too."

Off he went into the afternoon traffic jam. He was getting some
funny looks... Finally, according to him, a real doll pulled up next
to him, and indicated she wanted a word with him. His heart went
pitty-pat as he rolled down the window. She called out "There's
something about yuppies on the back of your car!" This wasn't
exactly what he was hoping to hear from her. Pause. "What?" he
cleverly replied. "Yuppies! A sign about yuppies on the back of your
car!"

So much for fantasies. Because of the heavy traffic, he couldn't
stop, and drove home with the sign on. It wasn't the sign per se
that bugged him - he laughed about that - it was that doll who
DIDN'T want to tell him her phone number.....

I got another co-worker at another place - simple and
self-explanatory: "DANGER: East Indian at the wheel!" In his case,
it was justified - if you liked to live dangerously, you talked to
him when he was driving; he wasn't very good at multi-tasking.

At another place, there was a guy we all know - bought a cheap black
MouseDung, I mean Mustang, then spent all of his money adding on
things he thought were attractive - you know, tinted windows,
wheels, tires, pin stripes, more stripes, things hanging from
things, more stripes, headlight covers, tail light covers, more
stripes, shade strips, cover covers, more stripes. Finally (and only
someone who thinks all of the preceding is just a good start would
do this), he added in white letters across the back edge of the
trunk: "Have you driven a Ford lately?" There was a pretty large
space between "driven" and "a", because of the trunk lock.

Shortly after that (he wasn't much of a driver, no matter how he saw
himself), he managed to pull out of a side street into the path of
another car. It was a pretty good hit, but the car was still
driveable. Of course that's not funny, but an opportunity IS an
opportunity.... He always parked his pride and joy near the main
entrance, so that everyone could admire his work of art - the fact
that its bodywork was clearly rearranged didn't change anything.

I measured the size of the letters in his slogan and noted the
style, then drew up a little sign saying "into", with white letters
on black, and taped it over his trunk lock with electrical tape
(certain that the tape wouldn't pull his paint off). It worked great
- there for all to see as they left work was "Have you driven into a
Ford lately?"

He was absolutely livid, but no one (for a change) told him who'd
done it. He suspected everyone - ranted and raved for a day or two,
and then fell into a depression that lasted for at least a week.
This is true. It wasn't that someone was having a joke about the
accident - it was that someone was making a joke about his CAR!!!
