Last week's question: A car bearing the bumper sticker, “Why am I the only person the on the planet who knows how to drive?” ran into a guardrail, flipped over, and left the driver with non-life-threatening injuries, including embarrassment. We asked you to come up with the second-dumbest bumper sticker someone could possibly affix to his or her car.
