I once saw one of those oval stickers with “13.1” written in a very crazed typeface; underneath was written “Because I’m only half crazy.” Yet there was a series of stick figures in the same rear window depicting someone swimming, running, and biking. I’ve never seen the car again; but I’ve always wanted to ask the driver, “OK, which one of you is only half crazy and which one is just ∫µ¢kin’ nuts!?!?”
