I pray for them, that God will dump a bucket of blessings (which I picture as sticky confetti) on their heads, and bring them peace and good sense. Then I pray to keep us all safe.
Former auxiliary bishop of Baltimore once told this story:Driving uptown from the Catholic Center where he worked to the Cathedral where he lived in the rectory, he got behind a car with a HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS bumper sticker. “I’m a man of the cloth,” he thought, “Of course I love Jesus!” So he honked.He noticed that the driver in front of him looked up in his rear-view mirror, glared at him angrily, and flipped him off. He was momentarily taken aback by the reaction, he told the congregation as he paced the sanctuary. “My immediate reaction was to flip him off in reply,” he continued. “But then I thought, ‘I can’t go around flipping people off! I’m a prince of the Church! A bishop in charge of a flock! I can’t just flip people off like that!’” A few more steps; then he casually dropped, “So I condemned him to hell.”I miss that auxiliary.
Gary Brookins: We had one of those when I was a kid on vacation in Florida. My dad refused to take the bait. Before air conditioning, so when I stuck my bare feet out the window to cool them, he pulled us over and sarcastically demanded to see that kid before he lost his feet on a mail box. Rural mail boxes were so far off the road, they had their own roads so RFD wouldn’t block traffic.

The hardest for me to forgive are the tailgaters who try to bully me into speeding.

I just figure they’re trying to get to the accident first. They’re welcome to it in my book.

In Indiana, all the aggressive drivers have “In God We Trust” license plates.

Perfect bumper sticker:
If that phone was up your ass, maybe you could drive a little better…

neverenoughgold: A bumper sticker has to be short; therefore, truth cannot fit on a bumper sticker.
