While still derailed by the 'stupid sign makers' comment, I'm going to add my own stupid sign submission... in the mountains where I live, there are red and white signs posted all over the highways and roads that read, "Vehicles blocking snowplows will be towed away."
Well, a while back, I saw CalTrans workers installing the sign pictured here. It only stood for a few hours, before being hastily removed. As it turned out, my guess (not a hard one to come up with) was 100%, exactly correct, as a newspaper article regarding this very sign followed in the next copy of our local paper: Some supervisor said, "Hey! Go put up one o' them ol' red'n'white "vehicles blocking snowplows' signs out on Hwy 18!" And some dumb- as- a- box- of- hammers (but well- paid) worker went to the shed to look for one. But there were none, so he ordered one: one of them ol' red'n'white "vehicles blocking snowplows" signs.
I'm glad that I had the opportunity to get this pic during this sign's very short day in sun.
