NASCAR bumper sticker

My wife saw this bumper sticker last week. It read, “Let’s play follow the leader. 3”

Now, to anyone who doesn’t follow NASCAR, the “3” is a reference to Dale Earnhardt, Sr…The Intimidator.

I thought it was amusing…a reference to a dominant driver talking smack. Then Julie pointed out that it could also be seen as a bit morbid…Dale, Sr. was killed when he ran into the wall on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.

Uh…really don’t want to follow quite like that…that is a bit morbid.
