I must say I agree with Hans van der Meer here. For me, this sounds like 
middle school humor; I can't imagine any actual grown-up finding this 
funny. But I'm overall not convinced that such stickers make our world a 
better place. They have a tendency to wind up in places where you don't 
want to see them. So my two cents on your question: don't. They're worse 
than useless.
