Ham n Eggs, with all due respect, those signs appeared before my kids were born, which means they date back 20 years or so. While they might have accrued the emergency use you describe in some places, I have never heard of this.

Yes, I am aware that the meaning has probably been hijacked, which was precisely why the last sentance of my post was intended as irony.
Unfortunately, whilst I found it utterly hilarious, I guess that it will have completely mystified everyone else.

jlg, ham 'n eggs is right. i remember when those signs first came out. the person who "invented" them was reacting to an accident where a car contaianing two adults and a baby was in an accident. both the adults were killed instantly. the baby was overlooked by rescue workers. details escape me at this point, but it wasn't pretty.

Whilst stuck behind a green panael van going about half the speed limit the other day, I thought of lots of potential bumper stickers (very pissed off I was).
However, I managed to keep my cool by reading the bumper stickers already on display. After seeing the usual ones, "Lost your cat? Check under my tyres" and "If this van's a-rockin' don't come a-knockin'" I saw the funniest one I had ever seen before. At the risk of ruining the thread, I have to share it with you.

Well, chastmastr, the bumper sticker I saw was white lettering on a solid red background.
I suspect the one you saw had been, er, tarted up for the audience.
And Mid, why the Thoreau quotation? Given your profession, I should have thought
quote:
I must go down to the sea again!
To the lonely sea and the sky.
And all I ask is a tall ship
And a star to steer her by....
would be more in your line of work.
Not that I really give a damn about symmetry when it comes to 19th century American romanticism, mind you....

Ham'n'Eggs, whatever its origins the popular understanding of 'Baby on Board' signs (ie. to warn off following traffic) is backed up by the full text of the one I saw last night on my way to a meeting at church:
Baby on Board - Keep your distance
Oh, maybe I should add that the sticker was from Mamas and Papas (the current in-vogue baby goods manufacturer) and the car was a very clean VW Golf V5.
Having a young baby myself, can I just say I wouldn't be seen dead with such a sticker - and yes I do mean that. Surely the hulking great child seat should be a fair indicator to emergency services?

Nope, if this were genuinely the case the glass of the back window would be the last place to put the sign as this would most likely be crunched in an accident, if it were still there at all. It would be more effective to have stickers on the metalwork of the door struts which is what will be cut through.
Parents invariably feel the need to boast about the fact they've had babies and this is just another way of doing it (to the complete stranger following you). If you must, boast about the fact you've brought up well rounded young adults in 20 years time, pretty much anyone can pop out a baby - it's really not that special.

I've just read through this whole thread hoping to add my 'The Christian Right is neither' contribution to find I'd been pipped to the post. Ho hum, story of my life...
Anyway, welcome Monty Moose! I found it funny too.
I saw one today that said: Got a problem? Just try Jesus.
It left me wondering whether it was offering advice or the 'one upping' type of consolation that only really annoying people can manage.

In all these years, I'd NEVER thought that "baby on board" was intended as an alert to the rescue personnel in case of accident; I'd always assumed it was to serve notice that it's okay for the car to be in the carpool lanes.

There is a variant on "baby on board":
"mother-in-law in trunk" (boot in Oz).
My own favourites go thus:
"I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go"
and
"Mum's Taxi".
Yet another which used to grace the 1960 EK Holden belonging to a friend (this was a two-tone monster with tail fins, a 3-speed column shift and a clutch made for a gorilla):
"At least I own it".
cheers,

Some time ago I saw a Bumper sticker that read,
"Buy American".
It was on the back of a VW!
I read about a sticker in Germany, seen on the back of a VERY small car,
"Wenn ich gross bin, ueberheule ich euch alle!"
"When I grow up, I'm gonna pass you all!"

A very long time ago, I went to a Barry McGuire concert and he said he'd like a bumper sticker worth reading, like "I'd rather be a sardine in the bait tank of the Lord, than a killer whale in the jacuzzi of the devil" I've yet to see it on anything though....

Let's keep URL references to a minimum, shall we? If I have to go to another web site to get the joke, it tends to disrupt the conversation of the thread. Threads such as this are about sharing things we find humorous, not providing resources.
