I know we often find clever marketed phrases on tee-shirts, coffee cups etc,etc. that we can relate to. They are often fun and have their place but lately I feel a bit like I'm reading way too much life as seen through a bumper sticker.
Me, I'm old school. I figure that it takes a lot more to figuring out your sh*t than a bumper sticker or even 10. Yes, yes, it's fun; no, no glib isn't going to get you past the first 10-second chuckle. Oh, and I do know that many of us aren't looking for deep meaning and a few chuckles are worth their weight in gold.
BTW This isn't a hard stand and if you've an eloquent convincing argument as to why bumper/tees may carry the "Meaning of Life", please let me know.

I come here for the laughs.
The punchy sayings and funny cartoons do that for me.
Often, they allude to irony, trends in popular culture, and human fallibility. Gotta keep a sense of humor or that stuff can get you down.
And they are often original.
But Colette, I like what you're talking about, too—which I think is some kind of original perspective or observation on some facet of life. Bring it on!
There's room for it all.
