What does this thing mean exactly?

1) The child is driving, expect erratic signalling.

2) The child is screaming its head off, expect swerving from aggrivated parent.

3) My child is more important than any other member of the population, crash into someone else instead.

4) The driver cannot see through his rear window because of the child on board sticker.

There was a little old lady standing on the corner,
both hands holding her hat on while the wind blew her skirt up around her face.
A dignified Southern Gentleman came up and said,
"Ma'am, you should be ashamed of yourself, letting your skirt blow around, being indecent, while both hands hold your hat."
She said, "Look, everything down there is eighty years old, this hat is brand new!"

I've never seen one.  If I did, I'd most likely try to annoy them to find out their reaction.

They started as an indication to the emergency services that a young
child may have been on board a crashed vehicle, and that they should
search in case it was thrown clear or is trapped in the footwell and
not immediately visible. Now, I think they're mostly vanity.

Wouldn't it be better to buy the child a seatbelt?

It doesn't mean anything, the same as other car stickers.  They just obscure 
visibility and maybe
should be banned.  If there was one with "silly cow driving" or "old person 
who hasn't realised he/she is in a car driving" I might keep my distance.

There are plenty of these.  Latest one I saw was "driver asleep".

I have been considering putting a sing in the rear window 'MOB on board', 
'Misserable Old Bugger on board'

If you aimed it right, you could kill someone!

I thought it was an exemption sticker - allowing the driver to drive like a 
complete Cn*t.  How many times have you been cut up by an erratic loony in a 
4X4 or something like that "bullying" their way through the traffic to find 
a "child on board" sticker in the rear windscreen.  Worse thing is that 
there normally IS a young 2 year old strapped in the back being flung around 
in its seat as they pass you.

Exactly, I do around 40000 miles a year on business and the worst
drivers are MPV's, 4x4's and any one with the "Small Person on Board"
sticker. Next are 4 axle tipper truckers who are obviusly paid by the
load and don't seem to know that their vehicle is in excess of 7 and a
half tons and therefore restricted to 40mph on single carraigeway
roads, full or empty. By far the best drivers are proper HGV vehicles
like curatain siders or container vehicles. Oh and while I'm in rant
mode the assholes who don't know that a safe following distance is
there to allow faster vehicles to be able to merge back into the
traffic flow because they are to shit scared to overtake the slow car
or vehicle in front but won't leave a space for any one else to try.

When my kids were first born, we used it for exactly that purpose. It was 
*always* removed if they weren't in the car.  Now every fucker seems to have 
one, whether there's kids in the back or not so the original point seems to 
be lost to vanity.

It means that you can park in the "Parent & child" spaces in Tescos
and that when people get in your car to discover that it stinks of
shit they don't automatically assume it was you.

It also fills the gap between your Churchill nodding dog, minature
football strip, hilarious "Bitch on board" and "If you can read this
you're not from round here" stickers and the small child lying on the
parcel shelf, so without it your rear-view mirror would show you a
reflection of the person behind you and, maybe it's just me, but I
find that the people in the car behind are rarely the sort of people
I'd want to look at.

It means (3).

One frequently-seen variant from three decades (or so) ago used to be: 
"Keep your distance - give my child a chance".

That may have been the reason for the first batch of such stickers, but 
that reason has been varied from - if not totally ignored - by certain 
variants of the sticker over the years.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

During the jury-selection process, the judge asked a prospective juror some questions.
"Have you formed any opinion about the guilt or innocence of the man on trial, Mr. Ferguson?"
"None whatsoever," Ferguson answered.
"Are you opposed to capital punishment?" the judge asked.
"Certainly not in this case."

Come to that, bicycle and taxi decals would be useful too.

I used to have a bumper sticker saying "so many pedestrians so little time", and a picture of some blood and guts.  However that car is written off.

Watching his date from the corner of his eye while he poured her a drink, the young bachelor said, "Say when."
She replied, "Right after that drink."

I would like to have a bumper sticker saying "If I'd known I'd have
picked the cotton myself".  Last seen in N. Carolina  ("Welcome to
Klan Country", as the sign on the state line used to say).

Mine are free around the house.  They make a mess.

I do when I have free time, which is almost never nowadays.  I've spent all afternoon trying to fix a radiator that I broke when taking it off to redo a wall.  I hate plumbing, it always leaks.  Electricity is far easier, it doesn't leak.

They're supposed to be intelligent birds.  Maybe they just need more
time.

Washing machines are a lethal combination of the two.

I don't repair those.  It's cheaper to buy another one (second hand, £30).

Hey I successfully fixed my vacuum cleaner!  £30 from Wickes, wet and dry thingy.  The motor mount had no means of preventing rotation (which it does when you switch it on), so eventually (after a few weeks) it wrenched the cable out.  I have fixed it in firmly.

90.  Which means they are children.  But they are fertile at 2, which makes most of them teenagers and adults (which don't usually crap all over the place).

Yes.  There's always someone buying a new one because it's the wrong colour.

It had already been damaged in other ways by parrots, I couldn't really take it back.

Abe's son arrived home from school puffing and panting, sweat
rolling down his face.

"Dad, you'll be so proud of me," he said,  "I saved a dollar by
running behind the bus all the way home!"

"Oy Vey!" said Abe, "You could have run behind a taxi and
saved $20.00!"

You have to be ethnic to qualify for those.
They're not called "White goods" for nothing.

A man, his wife, and their eight children were waiting at a bus stop.  Not long after, a blind man joins the group.
The bus arrives.  The blind man and the husband are forced to walk because there's just no more room on the bus.
As they walk together, the tapping of the blind man's cane starts to irritate the other man.
Finally, the man says, "You know, that's pretty irritating.  Why don't you put a rubber on the end of that stick?"
The blind man retorts:  "If you'd put a rubber on the end of *your* stick, we'd both be on that bus."

A typical metallic shower hose has rings of stainless steel.
Superimpose armour plating!
