I first would like to say I am am posting this for what it is and was. A gag gift for my father. I mean no disrespect whatsoever.
My 87 year young father had seen this saying on the back of some man’s tee-shirt when he and I were at the La Mirada swap meet (So. Ca.) 2 summers ago, when I went to visit. He kept telling me how much he sure “wished he knew someone ” who could make it for him out of wood so that he could place it in his rear window of his car (yes he still drives and he drives a bright red Trans Am) facing the way those behind him could read it. After a few dozen of his “wishes” I decided to make this. (I have a scroll saw down there ready to be used when I visit) Gee he acted soo surprised LOL!!! when I gave it to him. He put it in the rear window of his car and had it there for a good while until someone got offended. (I personally can’t believe that anybody would find this offensive) Sooo he asked me to place it above his door into his garage and that is where it stays.
And just in case you don’t get it , it means “Stuff Happens”
Peace !!!

Hi Allison,
This is a cute project and I enjoyed the story behind it. Out of curiosity how did you mount the lettering?
Thanks for the post.

Around here, Manure Occureth a lot. I think those who are offended don’t get it. I’ve seen some tee-shirts that offended ME!.

“fecal matter from a male bovine beast” Now that is an expression only a teacher would come up with heh? God bless our teachers! And to Scott Bryan- good ol’ fashioned wood glue. My father had to make a few trial runs (no pun intended but should be) with it to see where to place the lettering on the wood so as it wouldn’t fall over when he braked or accelerated!
Lord forbid I secure it directly to his Trans Am!!!
LOL!!!
