Yellow Ribbons

Hi. So how many of your cars have those magnetic yellow ribbons on them? I bet most households have at least one or 2 cars with one on them. Well my family is not exactly the Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree type family. We don't agree with the war in Iraq, but I guess that doesn't mean we don't support our troops, we just don't advertise it. At any rate, one day mom and I were driving and she saw one on the back of a car. She finally woke up and realized what it was and how many people had to have them. She jumped on the bandwagon. Ugh! We got ours at Osco and took it home. Once we opened the bags up we discovered the yellow ribbon did not make it home. Melissa got sent back to the store! I got to go steal one that was "set aside" for me. I finally get home with the stupid thing, and mom's like 'what does that warning say?' I read it. I bet nobody else did, and if they did they didn't care. Who would care about the warning on a magnet! The warning said 'blah blah this is not for prolonged use, it can rust, blah blah blah. clean it once in a while to prevent this, bleh bleh bleh!' I tell this to mom and she's just like "well that's stupid, I'm not gonna use it now!" *collapses* WHAT THE HELL!!!! So now we have 2 of the yellow ribbon magnet things to not support our troops with which we normally wouldn't anyway, so I guess all is right with the world. Anybody need 2 of those things?
