The answer to this question is ALWAYS 'how ever many can fit in the light bulb'
I love it!
Hahahaha! What a great note to leave on a car.
And true, too.
I'm always afraid I'm going to get backlash from some of my bumper stickers.
Where are we going, and why are we in this hand basket anyway?
That was my favorite-ist bumper sticker ever.
My brother used to have a bumper sticker about ending the sanctions against Iraq (this was aaaages ago), and he used to get so many nasty notes on his car.
Ahaha, clover and d, you guys made my night!
How self-righteous of them. And how exactly does disapproving of the current president make you a "far-left loon?" Many conservatives disapprove of him too. Humbug, I say!
Seriously, the light is probably a bug zapper. Hope they get a good shock.
"Worst Joke Ever"...amirite. Nice find, isn't it great when far-right loons can't stand the fact that the truth hurts?
The guy has a 32% approval rating. I don't think you have to be "far left" to bash him.
totally right Sand.
i love how in the dark conservatives are. and they think they aren't. not trying to start a fight or anything...
opposite of down? Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.
I'd vote for Chuck Norris.
http://www.polobarn.com/lominska/lominska.html
yes?
Brett Favre for president!
i'd vote for Chuck, for anything.
Up Chuck!
Doesn't the fact that most politicians start out as lawyers tell you something? No honest person ever went into politics and stayed honest.
i'm a far left loon, and i laughed. it's a joke. and so are the conservatives. but, hey isn't all this divergent thinking what makes this country a great place? isn't it? isn't it?
How far left do you have to be to be considered "far left"? Really, I want to know.
Sorry, totally confused by American politics (how do you get by with just 2 options?) but I did think this joke was funny, and it was even funnier that it was left on your car.
I want a bumper sticker that says "very funny Scottie, now beam down my clothes", but after this I'm afraid what notes I would get!
Yeah, silly liberals. Why can't they wake up to the fact we should strip away our rights, bankrupt our country and destroy our economy, keep sending our soldiers into a meat grinder, and make a system set up to benefit the small minority of super wealthy. If we don't do all of that, the terrorists will win at taking away our freedom.
Nice points, Beth and some guy trying to wake up!
It's so amusing that the author of this note thinks that liberals are the ones who need to see the light.....
I think we ALL need to see the damn light....
R-O Bro!
...from your sis
Chuck Norris is a republican.
Beth, I was wondering that myself, and I've lived in this country my whole life. Maybe that's why I don't believe in political parties. :/
I can't see the light cause I'm kept in the dark
Damn. This country = the US. I keep forgetting about the international nature of the internet.
I had a Darwin fish on my car and when I went thru the carwash some of the red, spinning, cleany things got stuck coming out of the tail end of the fish. It looked like its heiny was on fire. Later on of the top tail segment came off and it looked as if it was evolving into a lizard. Eventually, someone tore it off at a Catholic wedding. Damn dirty bastards.
Spam protection: What is the number before 965?
Wow, do you think they're trying to weed out chrome toaster?
Good one, I'm saving that one for future reference :-).
Gee, and I was expecting a Super Bowl joke.
Hi there, Clover's brother.
I always wanted to put one of those sweet Christian fish stickers on my car, but since I drive like a creazy bat out o' hell, I realized I wouldn't be a very good "witness."
Spam question:
What is the last month of the year?
Answer:
JUNE (if you're a teacher)
How many far right loons does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Ans. One should do the job, because he's already screwed our country.
How many far left loons does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer: I don't know, but you can be sure it'll be a compact flourescent bulb!
I'd rather be a far left loon than a lame duck.
There is something very kid-like about this. It's like: "I can be reactionary, just like mommy and daddy are!"
*yawn* political talk bores me
'WATER FOWL=LOONS" are beautiful!!! So are their vocals.
I dislike it when people call 'crazy'= 'loonie'
I love 'loons'(anywhere!), on the lake, at the cottage, up on Manitoulin Island.
A loon is a better alarm in the morning then a rooster!!!!!!
I like how the author of the note respectfully capitalized Far Left Loons.
"Loon" is a pretty word to me, probably because its reference to the moon. But I'm another confused one concerning the US's politics... not only do I find the duality system weird, but I've also got the feeling that their definitions of "left" and "right", or more specifically the scale itself, is different from that in some other places, say in the North of Northern-Europe.
@ Stelpa: the US political system is more about lobbies and interest groups than real, essential differences. As we say where I live, they basically are the same dog with a different collar on!
Nice handwriting.
I'd rather screw in the dark.
Mom in the den: about the last month of the year, ditto.
Moe: That's a good one! Did you make it up?
Pepper: Did you happen to read Garrison Keillor this morning? The part about the Catholics and the fundamentalists?
A Ghost: Moi aussi!
light: Moi aussi too!
Holly & stelpa: A loon sous la lune.. that is a beautiful image.
Lance: Candlelight is nice too.
Comments are superb today! Out-a-site! R-O à tous mes bros!
(I keep on getting the same dull spam questions, though.. where are all the cool and interesting ones the rest of you are getting?)
As far as jokes go this one is actually pretty lame.
Surely you clever people out there can come up with something better?
Cheers!
Hi Kat! Which joke are you talking about? I respectfully submit that there are several pretty funny ones in the comments today. I think the one on the note is pretty lame, though. In spite of the pretty handwriting.
Anyway, good to see you! I know you've been here, but not at the same time as me lately.. that reminds me that I'd like a beer with my football..
Cheers! Chairs! Santé!
No Mona, I listened to Prairie Home Companion around noon. Where can I find the column.
Actually it was Clover, not Mona who said that, Pepper. But i consider it a compliment to be mistaken for the famous Mona Lisa.
:)
The column is always in our Sunday newspaper.
I usually pretty much agree with ol' Garrison, btw. But this week i take issue with what he says about education. What's needed is no more budget cuts and smaller class sizes, especially in low income areas. And the budget cuts are a result of the current occupant, etc., etc.
..going back to the circles now..
spam:
" Spam protection: What is 2012 minus 4? "
I think pepper is right about the weeding...
we can only hope pepper is right about the weeding.
btw mathematic? what is 12 - 4? that might make it easier for you
I always wonder if my sister (especially) or I will ever get people to say stuff or write things to us based on our cars. My sister has that bumper sticker "Democrats are Sexy...who ever heard of a great piece of elephant?"
I like the Halloween ghost stories on Prairie Home Companion.
LOL Mare
Best bumper sticker ever..seen in S. Dakota
" Somewhere in Texas a village is missing it's idiot"
I've personally never had an elephant, but I've heard they can be quite attentive. And big.
@ Mare: awesome bumper sticker!
@Maynard: in the Bay Area those bumper stickers are EVERYWHERE
here's a good spam question: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck Norris?
Hi, Clover! Although I thought the Found (the Find?) was great I thought the joke itself was lame. Many of the comments are hysterical. That's why I was hoping someone would come up with a better (preferably partisan) joke and there have been some good ones. Still waiting for a real zinger. I do like the bumper sticker about the village in Texas missing its idiot though.
Anyone ever notice how when you're talking to republican about politics the farther they get in the corner the louder they have to talk? It's like if they speak loud enough they might actually be right (no pun intended).
Cheers!
Why would anyone here want to "weed out" specific others? Why would they think simple math would do the trick?
Why would they resort to personal attacks in such a friendly neighborhood.
Sad day indeed!
Some times the inability to get along is just an inability or perhaps an unwillingness to see things from a perspective other than your own limited one.
We live in a mixed home here. My husband and I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. No, there is no happy medium. We don't watch the news together, it causes to much ruccus! Our children, I think get a pretty good grasp on each Party. Each of us will tell them about the good point of our chosen party and then the other will make sure they know the bad points too.
Kitchen table, sure...Washing machine, a time or two...bathroom, check... living room,check... but no screwing in a light bulb!
@kc in the sunshine asked... "How far left do you have to be to be considered 'far left'? Really, I want to know."
To get the answer, the *question* must be phrased correctly... It's all in the perspective...
I think the location "far left" could best determined (or judged?) from *outside*... if a "Far Left Loon" is (*in?*)/(*on?*)/(*at?*) the Far Left.. how would they know where?...
Kind of like asking a Tree if they're in among the Trees?, or are they in the Forest?...
(OOO Oooo!!) I know the answer "if there are very-few Clowns to the Left of [Loon] and lots-and-lots-of Jokers to the Right of [Loon]... " maybe the Loon is a bit Left of {Stuck in the) Middle?
I think I would self-identify as at least a Semi-Left, I sure don't know what a FarRight Conservative would call me...
And Beth -- I don't understand our political system.. and I've had 58 years of practice trying to observe it!!
How many psychotherapists does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one – but it has to really WANT to change.
(apologies for musicians’ in-jokes coming up)
How many sopranos does it take change a light bulb?
Four – one to climb the ladder, three to turn the ladder round.
How many tenors does it take to change a light bulb?
Five – one to climb the ladder, four to stand around and say ‘he’ll never get up there’.
How many clarinettists does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one, but he’ll have to go through the whole box before he finds the one that works.
How many oboists does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one, but she’ll fiddle with it all through the session trying to make it work properly.
How many double basses does it take to change a light bulb?
I – IV – V – I...
How many sound engineers does it take to chamge a light bulb?
‘One – two – three... one – two... one – two...’
How many Wombles does it take to change a light bulb?
Several – they’ll take the old one back to the burrow and see if Tobermory can make it work again.
How many (sorry, racial stereotype) Jewish mommas does it take to change a light bulb?
None – ‘Oh, don’t mind me, I’ll just sit here in the dark’...
What’s grey, got big ears and a trunk?
A mouse going on holiday.
Oh sorry – that's irrelevant.
(Chico Marx joke – ‘irrelevant’ – geddit? Oh never mind.
Thanks Clover, when I googled ol' Garrison I found quite a few bloggers who write about how much they hate him.
http://www.blackgayblogger.com/2007/03/14/fuck
I haven't read it yet.
Awww MAN! We finally get a submission from my state and it's freakin' political.
I ABHOR politics!
It's all just a bunch of crap if you ask me. Noone in politics ever tells the truth or even says what they mean and political affiliations don't mean anything any more except as an excuse to bicker with other people if you ask me, which you didn't but I'm saying so anyway.
Wah!
Well done, Jonathan! I should have known I could count on you.
Cheers!
I got the soprano one wrong.
One soprano to climb the ladder, three fans to hold it steady while the world revolves around her.
;-)
Really, is it so bad to be in the middle of the two sides. Everyone acts as though there is only one true answer to the issues around us. The far right conservative is wrong because obviously they are ruining our government...or the far left liberal is wrong because they are going to ruin our government. Maybe they are both wrong. How realistic is it to believe that everything around us is easily defined in terms of black and white. All I see is gray. What I think is wrong is that the two sides never agree to anything and never sacrifice they biggotry for the better good. Just like with everyday interactions(albeit with friends, family, etc) you have to give a little to get anything beneficial out of the relationship. Why is it not the same with politics anymore? I don't know if I really want to even vote this year because I just feel like there are too many extremists running the campaign. I just want a middle of the road kind of guy or gal...whichever is better suited. Maybe this is a matter of opinion but to me neither candidate seems to want to really work with the opposing side. Give me someone who does!
Sorry to impose my political grief...lol =)
Happy, can I join you in the middle. It sure seems peaceful. ;o)
How many Teamsters does it take to change a light bulb?
25, You got a problem with that?
That's good--and timely! I met some Teamsters this weekend and they were a bunch of mouthy, tough guys but oh-so-very fun! Lots of swearing and it sort of rubbed off on me. Must go wash my mouth out with soap.
I've got a bumper sticker that says, "Republicans for Voldemort" and some high strung jerk nearly ran into me the other day because of it. I'm all for differences in opinion and everything, but one shouldn't attempt murder because your ideas aren't the same. I prefer this method of exchanging bad jokes via windshield notes.
Also, for all of you that say, "Oh, I could never follow politics, I can't stand it!" It's your world too. You should really pay attention to the way it's run- maybe then politicians wouldn't get away with the amount of crap they pull.
Q: if you find someone hanging around in the street looking lost, how do you know it's a tenor?
A: because he can't find the key and he doesn't know where to come in!
Q: How many skinheads does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: All of them. One to screw it in and the rest to back him up.
or the alternate answer...
A: SKINHEADS AREN'T AFRAID OF THE DARK!
No creepies, I just loooove rightwing humor though. Man, what a knee slapper.
My favorite bumper sticker that i randomly saw was "I would rather ride with Ted Kennedy than hunt with Dick Cheney"
my least favorite (it made me want to smash their tail-lights) was a little boy praying and it said, "he's praying you'll help end abortion" and the name of a church under that. i thought it was highly offensive for some reason.... that and annoying as hell because it's one the most heated arguements ever.... i cant stand people trying to push religion on anyone else-- especially since this country was founded on freedom of religion... sorry went off on a rant there :)
also-- i saw on a t-shirt (had to be homemade) once a picture of george bush's head open with his brain exposed (cartoon drawing of a brain!) with an arrow saying "not everything is bigger in texas"
very cute
and oddly enough, very hard to describe just now :)
I had a note on my car this morning that said "Pro-America Anti-Democrat." I am assuming it is in response to my bumper sticker that says "Pro-America Anti-Bush." And I feel fairly confident it is from my immediate neighbor with the "Stop Hillary Now" sign in her window.
This kind of behavior is thuggish, not to mention the fact that it screams lack of boundaries. Her sign is anti-Hillary as president. Mine is anti-Bush as president. Those are political positions. The NOTE is directed at me, as a Democrat. And it involves coming onto my property and touching my things.
Loony left? I don't think so.
Clover: Yes, I made it up after reading this find. Thanks!
How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?
. . . just two, but getting them IN there is the hard part.
yow! the sand in your vagina? ...really?
can't stop laughing.
I was expecting to see some republican light bulb jokes from some of those loony liberals. This guy is obviously a fox news watcher who wrote this though, probably a big fan of papa bear, lol.
How many politicians does it take to ruin a country? Only one. His name is Obama.
Q: why are "conservatives" "pro-life"?
A: Because they just found out that when the amnio-centesis revealed that they were mongoloids, their mothers didn't abort them when we all know they should have.
cheese!
Fietsje in Ohio, I'd like to touch your things, and I'm a Libertarian.
Butter does not believe in political parties. Amazing. I think butter means "condone" or "acknowledge" or "support". I hope, anyway.
