Perplexing

This is not a picture of the car that was in front of me today.  I was unable to snap a pic of the car in front of me with the bumper sticker that so incensed my good senses because I took my camera out of my car.  I gave in to my missed opportunities of late and figured, "what's the freakin' point?" since I can't seem to snap a simple enough bird-watching or blimp-spotting moment.  I suppose it's for the better.  I probably would have rear-ended the fool in front of me with the bumper sticker to the tune of "Martyr for Servitude" anyway, and I don't want to be obligated to give any fools any wiggle room never mind my insurance info or phone number.  (On a side note, it would be quite brilliant if new model cars came equipped with two amenities that I'd find helpful pretty much on a daily basis.  #1) A telescopic camera, maybe a periscope sort of mechanism that has a click button on the steering wheel.  This would be great for road trips too (although I don't know if anyone takes those any more) and certainly for traffic accidents; #2) a Nerf bumper so that you could give just a bit of a nudge to idiot drivers to let them know how you really feel without doing any real damage.  For that matter, why not equip the car with Nerf darts that can also be accessed via steering wheel buttons?  Anyhow, you heard it here first.)
So, this fool had a bumper sticker professing to be a martyr to servitude.  Ummm, A) I think that's probably redundant and wholly (not to be confused with holy (because words like that might just burn a hole in this blog and shall not be employed no matter how tempting the pun)) unnecessary; B) Who advertises that they're a martyr?  I thought that was something you called someone when you got sarcastic during a domestic argument; C) Servitude?  Really?  I'm not sure what that word means. 

There was an additional sentence that went on about an avatar of some sort, so I'm guessing this is someone who should not pass go, should not collect $200 dollars because this is someone who shouldn't be allowed out of the house.  Anyone with this bumper sticker isn't fit for public consumption.

Life sometimes can be perplexing.
