Senseless stickers, and why I did the German ones...

YES!  And *this* is why I did the German language stickers, as a parody of the Japasese language
(or worse yet, the English language in stylized Kanji typestyle) - to make fun of them directly!

And *that* is why I chose the Fraktur typestyle.  I used it because, even without reading it, it
screams "Germany."  It's beautiful and it's been around for centuries.  There was and is no
intended connection between its use on the stickers and Germany's darker days.  

AFA the wording, well, Tobias explained that for me (thanks T) and there is a gap between German
and English phraseology in this gray area.  Besides, I only have so much sticker space.

On the other hand, it'd be an (ironic) hoot to have some 3' long 'correct' German phrase wrapped
around the bumper.  But not practical.

Still $6 sent to US, red ones going fast...lotsa yellow left.
