Rule 39: A Pro doesn’t put bumper stickers on their car

Posted on March 14, 2024March 15, 2024 by Duncan Zaves

Almost all bumper stickers fall into two categories:

  1. Commentary on one of the three forbidden office subjects.
  2. An attempt at humor.

In truth, all bumper stickers might as well say the same thing:

“I can’t keep my fucking thoughts to myself.”

Since a Pro won’t discuss the forbidden, and wouldn’t make the same joke every single day, a Pro gets no benefit from a bumper sticker.
