“If you can read this, I’m not impressed. Most people can read” (bumper sticker)

“If you can read this, I’m not impressed. Most people can read” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many bumper stickers. “If you can read this, you’re too close” or “If you can read this, thank a teacher” are more usual bumper stickers with this “If you can read this…” beginning line.
       
“If You Can Read This I’m Not Impressed. Most People Can Read” was cited in The Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY) on February 1, 2006, where the bumper sticker was credited to Scott Richter of KComposite.com.
