Subject: HELP! What is it?????

PLEASE someone help! Early, Early 80's?
There used to to be this novelty item, which was a hand held paddle with messages. You could change the messages by flipping them over. It was meant for people to use while driving, I think to tell off other drivers. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I would appreciate ANY help! Thanks! :-/

That's funny. I'm always thinking about inventing a way for drivers to communicate with each other (some kind of digital display or something), but I always end up deciding that we're probably better off keeping our comments to ourselves. :)

I also remember these, we got one for my brothers when they started to drive. I don't think they actually had a name, but I think I saw them somewhat recently at a Spencer's store.
