Down the road from the office is a car wash with a sign proudly proclaiming:

Does this mean they are combining Hydrogen and Oxygen somewhere out back?

Which reminds me of bumper stickers with "I'm pro-XYZ and I vote!" (insert your favorite cause for XYZ) A co-worker asked if I thought they were really for XYZ. He reasoned that if you were pro-XYZ would you really egg on those who weren't? Meaning that an anti-XYZ person would see the bumper sticker and think "Ha! I'll be there to cancel out your vote," while a pro-XYZ person would see it and think they didn't need to add their vote. He reasoned that the best approach is to put a bumper sticker on your car proclaiming the opposite of what you think. I figured the best approach is to put the sticker on someone else's car...nothing like a grudge vote.
