Hmmm.... the airbag popped, so they must have had some kind of frontal impact, too. What does the “behave” bumper sticker at the top of the window mean?

“What does the “behave” bumper sticker at the top of the window mean?”

Itt could actually mean a few things, but my best guess is that it is simply a piece of satire. If you’re from “Balmer” you would be familiar with a campaign called “BELIEVE”.

I actually don’t know what “BELIEVE” means, I think it’s just one of those metropolitan PR pushes to feel good about a city that essentially has no tax base, maybe “Believe in Baltimore” or what have you.

If you travel around Baltimore you see giant banners hanging from corporate buildings and in the Inner Harbor. I always ask my wife “BELIEVE” in what; believe in God, believe in yourself, believe in the city,....??

Anyway, the sticker uses the same font and color and treatment as the “BELIEVE” icon. Kinda the same way folks satirized “Got Milk” with “Got Beer”, “Got Jesus”, “Got Whatever”. In my opinion it’s a piece of satire based on an original concept which actually makes no sense.

It does connect with Baltimore, so it says “I’m from Baltimore” the same way that folks recognize “OBX” as Outer Banks, I recognized the similarity.

Now much too much has been typed about something which means nothing at all. ;0)
