You know, I've never had anyone ask me if my Jeep is a Hummer when it looks like this.....Oh, that's right, Hummers never look like this do they?

How about any of the following responses...

"Really?! Sh*t... I'm trading mine in for an H3 tomorrow!!"

"Yeah, you're right... except without the vagina."

"Red-rover, red-rover, send the brain-cell right over."

"Yeah? How'd you like a nice hot cup of 'shut-the-f*ck-up'?"

"Are those the vehicles I keep seeing stuck in the mud?"

"I think I rescued one last weekend..."

Or... just sock the guy in the face. Don't hesitate. Just punch his lights out before he even finishes the sentence. When he wakes up and asks "Wut happened?", tell him he got hit by a mini-Hummer.

Last night my the family went out to eat and when we were leaving a yellow H3 was parked next to us. My daughter said "look daddy a yellow Jeep". I said very loudly "No Honey that isn't a Jeep, that is a guy with too much money, and too stupid to do research before he bought it". Just then the alarm on the H3 chirped and the guy about 5 feet behind me was holding the keys glaring at me. I smiled ear to ear as I saw him, and before I got in the Jeep I said loud enough the whole parking lot could have heard. "Hey Honey would you like to take the top off the Jeep!"
He never said one word!

it took my 08 rubicon out of town to visit my parents last weekend
needless to say , my dad is in love with hummers
when i told him over the phone that i had bought a new jeep
he kinda gave me the sigh over the phone (YOU BOUGHT ANOTHER JEEP)
But any ways me and the wife pull into my parents drive way and say our hellos
(the entire time my dad couldnt take his off off the jeep)
so i gave him the tour of the cockpit and all the features ie lockers ,disco,sunrider
and so on
by the time we were done the tour he sheepishly asks me if i had a business card
for the dealership (i did of course)
in short hes coming into the city this weekend to pick up a new jeep

boooooooooo yaaaaaaaaaa jeep 1 hummer 0

These would look good on those brake light cutouts that you can custom order off ebay....................

Breaking in front of a Hummer..................priceless.

i get this all the time too. just tell them that actually, a hummer LOOKS LIKE A JEEP!!! like the classic, 'which came first, the chicken or the egg' is debateable. but i'm sure we all kno which is the chicken in this argument...
