Seen on the back of a lorry

[TVC]

There are many supposedly witty remarks seen on the back of vans, some as advertising, some scrawled in the dirt. Today I saw one that genuinely made me laugh out loud.
Driving up the M1 this morning, I passes a livestock transporter. Neatly signwritten across the bottom of the tailgate was:

[font="'Comic Sans MS"]If it shoots we'll shift it.[/font]

Happy times.

Staying with the 'brown word' theme and without wanting to appear to be a coprophiliac, I've seen a couple of those tanker lorries used for emptying septic tanks with funny slogans on the back - one had '20 years in business' on the back and the other 'I'm a sucker for septic tanks'.

I followed an animal transporter wagon today north on the B1248 out of Wetwang, it had 'Moo Mover' painted on the back.

It certainly was 'moving' because despite doing 60mph (and 40/30 in villages etc) I didn't see it again till Stockings Lane near Ampleforth, then it went off again towards Sutton Bank and I last saw it going over the top of Sutton Bank in the distance, and didn't see it again.

 Best one I've seen was neatly painted on a low steel crash bar on the back of an old tank transporter (also load with a WW2 tank) which read

"Your accident stops here!"

Painted on the back of a service van for a certain elevator manufacturer:...
Otis; never accept a lift from a Stranger.

Not on a van but on the elevator theme, one of our temp secretaries was typing a letter for the senior partner at our firm, she was asked to write to Otis elevators, she started the letter to O Elevator Esq, Dear Mr Elevator

I like thre story about the "Out of Order" notice on a broken lift. Scribbled underneath was the message "This Otis regrets it's unable to lift today".
