    Here are a few astronomy-related one-liners that I have gleaned throughout the years. Most of these would make good bumper stickers, I think.

      Mark's "dawn - just say no" brings up a funny thought...a bumper sticker - astronomers would get the joke. Speaking of which, what astro bumper stickers have people seen? Or what are some that should be seen? We all know about "astronomers do it in the dark" and "astronomers do it all night long", but are there some more astro-related quick quips to bring out a chuckle or two? (something that would fit on a bumper sticker).
