No, this is not my grammar. I haven't lost my brains anywhere. The title is merely a statement I read during my morning travels written on the back of a car. Weird, but true. This statement gives an eerie "gay-ish" feeling, even though in the conservative Pakistani culture, such freedom is nowhere entertained. In their smart attempt to pose "cool", some naive people also end up writing nonsense on themselves under the pretense that they hit a jackpot!
Car painting, and more recently wall painting, has been the illiterate's futile attempt to pose sophistication. People often print catchy phrases in similar liquidy font in order to distinguish their cars from other "ordinary" cars. Though not very attractive, such car painting is given a special status here in Pakistan.
Though admittedly, not all car paintings are a series of senseless words. At times, the phrases are indeed adorable. A long time back I read a phrase, and because of its beauty, I still happen to remember it:
"I don't drive fast, I fly slow"
This phrase has truly touched my heart. Being quite a racer myself, I find this phrase close to myself.
Peace.
