If a man speaks...

Usually I hate the use of external personal space, like a t-shirt or a car or someone's forehead to advertise something about your clearly deficient personality, but somehow the Kiwis do it better than most.

The Americans, I'm afraid, are terrible. You'll see Proud Parent Of A High School Graduate emblazoned on the rear of a U-Haul. Or, humiliatingly, for the overseers of the high school drop outs, Proud Parent Of A Great Kid. An honorable exception, I do have to mention that my big bro, resident of North Carolina, once saw, Poke A Badger With A Spoon, a brilliantly specific reference to Eddie Izzard's idea of an 'original sin'. Banksy would've be proud of that.

The Brits are worse, usually involving a cartoon of one football supporter urinating on the shirt of their rival team. Yeah, that'll shows 'em, all right. It will show them that you are an even bigger tool than anyone could possibly have imagined.

This, however, is a cracker. Modestly placed on a big ol' Land Rover, is this beautiful musing on gender and philosophy:

If a man speaks in the woods...

... and there is no woman around...

... is he still wrong?
