Spotted a bumper sticker that made me laugh so hard I almost rear-ended someone

I was stuck in traffic on I-35 in Austin last Wednesday when I saw a beat-up Honda Civic with a sticker that said "My other car is a broom." I leaned forward to get a better look and my foot slipped off the brake. I rolled maybe 2 feet closer to the guy before I caught it. He looked in his mirror and just gave me a thumbs up.

Hold up, @milestaylor. You almost drifted into another lane? That's wild. I mean I get it, a good joke can catch you off guard but that's taking it to a whole other level. Glad you and your buddy didn't end up in a ditch over a bumper sticker though. That Ford truck guy must have been laughing his ass off if he saw you.

Wait, you used to think those bumper stickers were dumb too? I'll be real with you, I always thought they were kinda lame until I saw one that actually made me almost wreck. Mine was a rusty old Ford truck with a sticker that said "I'm not speeding, I'm flying low." I was like damn, that's actually pretty funny. I honest to god leaned over to tell my buddy and almost drifted into the next lane. Ever since then I've got a lot more respect for a well placed joke on a bumper. It's not just a sticker, it's a commitment to making people laugh even when you're stuck in traffic.
