The Funniest Utah Bumper Sticker This Month Goes to…

There are two types of people in the world: those who put bumper stickers on their car and those who squint and drive recklessly to get up close enough to read what the heck it says.

I've never bought a bumper sticker and I rarely see one that I find amusing enough to remark on but this one is pretty good.

This person in SLC made me laugh very much yesterday

"PRETEND TO HONK IF YOU LIKE MIMES"

That's amusing and it's non-political and it's not Calvin peeing on a Chevy logo so I approve.

Here are some comments of people explaining (ruining) the joke:

"Mimes do just that, pantomime. They don’t touch anything, they just do physical actions to make believe they’re doing something, like being stuck in an invisible box. Now if you’re a fan of mimes, you would pantomime (pretend) to honk."

That's a good literal explanation.

"Adding to what he said, it’s a common thing for bumper stickers to say “honk if X” where x is something humorous. It’s a play on that.

I think the other stickers are just goofy anti-jokes, where the punchline is that there isn’t a punchline, the basic idea of the “joke” itself is just ridiculous."

I like this addition.

I think I thought it was funny because it's basically asking you to not honk.

Every other sticker is telling you to honk, this one is doing the opposite which is funny. Or maybe it's not. I've lost myself in a web of explanation.

Either way this bumper sticker wins our award for sticker of the month and $10 dollars to Island Grinds in St. George.
