The
other day while driving down the road I saw a sign that said
"STOP AHEAD". So, I reached over, took hold, and stopped
my
wife's head. She slapped me so hard she knocked a crown off one of
my molars.
I'm
suing the highway department.
Not
long after that, I came upon a sign that said "SPEED ZONE
AHEAD". Following its direction I sped through the
entire zone
as fast as I could. I got pulled over and given a "reckless
driving" citation. I
said to the cop, "What kind of a citation is that? I thought the whole point of driving was to stay
wreck-less. It's safer and it keeps my insurance costs down." The cop
hauled me to jail.

suing the highway department.
Another
time, I came upon a sign that said "NO PASSING". I got
fired from my job after spending six and a half hours sitting there
waiting for someone to give me permission to pass the bloody sign.
I'm
suing the highway department.
One
time I saw a sign on a steep hill by an emergency exit ramp that said
"Runaway Vehicles Only". I left a stack of pamphlets
with information on how to contact the National Runaway Helpline. I
got ticketed for littering.
I'm
suing the highway department.
Out
there on the road, I often come upon signs that say "KEEP LEFT"
or "KEEP RIGHT". Who do these bastards think they are
anyway, trying to influence my political affiliations with these vague
directional signs like I'm some unthinking moron who doesn't know any
better? Hmmm?
I'm
suing the highway department.
On
the way home the other day, I saw a sign that said "DO NOT
ENTER". Hmmff. Like anyone could get inside a quarter
inch thick metal sign anyway. What an insult to my intelligence!
I'm
suing the highway department.
I
once came upon a sign that said "ROAD CLOSED TO THRU
TRAFFIC". Knowing that my destination was another 15 miles, so
I wasn't even close to being through, I kept on going and ran into a bulldozer.
I'm
suing the highway department.
While
my car was being repaired, I was forced to take the bus around
town. Waiting at the bus stop, I saw a sign that said "NO
PARKING - Bus Stop". My head still hurts from trying to
figure out how the bus is supposed to stop and let people on without parking.
I'm
suing the highway department.
I
came across a sign in the mountains one time that had a curved arrow on
it and the number 35. Yeah, I counted. By the time I got out
of the mountains, the road curved 97 times, not 35. That's false
information, my friend!
I'm
suing the highway department.
I
came across a sign once that said "9% GRADE". I feel
that's discrimination against those of us who can only score an 8% or
less on average and so...
I'm
suing the highway department.
Last
Friday I spent six hours parked by a sign that said "SLIPPERY WHEN
WET". But you know what? Bon Jovi never did show up.
I'm
suing the highway department.
I
passed a sign the other day that said "BE PREPARED TO
STOP". As I looked down to make sure I still had a brake
pedal in my car, I ran into the back of another bulldozer.
I'm
suing the highway department.
One
time, I came across a sign with two directional arrows on it, one
pointing straight ahead, one off to the right. I
got so confused trying to decide which arrow to follow that I ended up
driving off between the two and hitting a tree that sat right in the
middle. Well, that tree wasn't on the sign, so...
I'm
suing the highway department.
Another
sign told me "NO PARKING - 8:30a.m. to 5:30p.m." I peed
my pants twice by noon and ran out of gas at 2:45. By the time
5:30p.m. rolled around and I could finally park, I no longer wanted to
do so. I was hungry, tired, and smelled like a gas station urinal.
So, I headed home with one single thought in mind.
I'm
suing the highway department.
On
my way home, I passed a sign that said
"EMERGENCY STOPPING ONLY". Not wanting to be stuck in my
car again, I slit my wrists, pulled into my driveway, called 9-1-1, and
headed for the shower.
I'm
suing the highway department.
Last
week, I pulled up to a stop sign that said "4-WAY" under
it. I looked straight ahead, off to my left, off to my right, and
thought to myself, "That's only 3 ways, what the hell are they
talking about?"
I'm
suing the highway department.
Just
today, I came upon a big red sign that said "STOP", so I
stopped. Eventually, I got tired of waiting for it to turn green
and say "GO" so I just pulled out anyway.
I
got run over by a cement truck. I'm now dead.
However,
I'm petitioning God for a temporary reinstatement so I can return to
Earth and SUE the Highway Department!
