Hello out there. It is The Noticer here. It happened again when I least expected it. I was driving on a Big 4-Lane Highway the other day when it happened. I Noticed something that only I, The Noticer, would ever Notice.
I had made my turn out of my 2 lanes going north and, as I
crossed over the 2 lanes going south, I Noticed that there were 3 red signs on
the right side of the 2 south bound lanes and 3 signs on the left side of the
south bound lanes that were facing toward me and not facing toward the oncoming
traffic.
Are you wondering why they were not facing oncoming traffic?
That’s because they were intended to prevent stupid drivers from taking
a right turn and beginning to travel into oncoming traffic. That’s right, they
were signs that read Wrong Way...
At first, I thought, “If the signs were not there,
it would be a great way to get rid of a lot of Stupid People!” But, since I
am pretty smart, I immediately saw that was not a good idea because the Stupid
People might collide with Smart People and get rid of people who need not be
gotten rid of like...
- A brilliant doctor who was days away from finding a cure for all forms of Cancer.
- A baseball player who was 1 swing away from breaking the all-time record for home runs in a single season.
- A young man of 22 years of age who, 38 years into the future, was destined to become President of the United States, and in his 2nd year in office, he was going to solve the Middle East Situation.
Forrest Gump is visiting with me today. He just expanded on
his famous Stupid Line in his movie, “Stupid is as stupid does and driving
the wrong way into 2 lanes of oncoming traffic is stupid. It is hard to
comprehend how much money is spent every year all across the fruited plain
buying signs and erecting signs that try to prevent stupid people from doing
stupid!”
Would I kid u?
