Earlier this year, I had a laugh with brother number 2 and his wife, at my mother’s expense. The laugh – at my mother’s expense – became something of a running gag over a weekend shared at Noosa.
While SIL2 and I ordered our Sunday lunch , B2 wandered off, returning 5 minutes later with a gift for me. It was a bumper sticker which reads:
Oh Shit…
I’VE TURNED INTO MY MOTHER!
These are SO funny.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few of them before...the ones in the beginning.
Did you make up any of the others?
One of my favorites is the Satanist one. And I love the Wiccan one.
I don't understand the American Judaism one...which is sad since I'm an American Jew.
I also love the politically correct one.
ReplyDeleteHi Dina,
ReplyDeleteI'd seen some of these before over the years. Ordered a poster and had it framed, but while typing them out realised it might have been typeset in a country where English is not the first language. Lots of typos and some repeats.
As a writer yourself you will appreciate I could not help 'tweaking' some of them.
I think the first Judaism comment sounds international to me, but only because of fiddler on the roof.
The american one sounds more like the jewish humour made popular in shows like "you don't have to be jewish - but it helps", or other NY style humour. [On the original poster the american judaism was labelled orthodox. Maybe you like that better, but I just couldn't imagine Mel Brooks or Gilda Radner etc as orthodox, though they played the sorts of characters who would speak like that]
Don't be sad... it might be a sign you are not a JAP [which I would find impossible to believe anyway].
My faves are satanism and surrealism...
And my oh shit I turned into my mother bumper sticker.
PS
ReplyDeletethey really are incredibly clever. I'd love to meet the person who started it all.
