I'm sure you knew it wouldn't be long before I wrote again, but this one will be short. As I was on my way home from school tonight, I got onto 495 from the GW Parkway for about the millionth time and noticed something I'd like to discuss (not sure y I haven't notice it before).
It was a highway sign. I know, you're probably thinking well it is a highway and they do put signs up to inform people. And I recognize that, I really do, and in fact I like signs, they help those stupid, stupid non-driving idiots out there a little bit (sorry I carry a little bit of road rage). Now back to this sign, It said something along the following "Prohibited on this highway are pedestrians, bikes, mopeds, ANIMALS, blah, blah, blah". Notice I lost my train of thought after ANIMALS. Excuse me, but how many ANIMALS do you know that read (considering half the PEOPLE on the road can't even read) ?? Personally I know NONE. And even if they do read, they sure don't listen (kinda like men hear but don't comprehend). I tried to rationalize this sign, and came up with these thoughts: maybe they don't want cops riding their horses on 495, nor anyone taking a horse and buggy ride, or walking their dog......... But for real, is anyone truly stupid enough to try that, and does a deer really care if the sign says they can't be on the road (that is of course, if they can read in the first place!)??
Enough for now, just had to get that out there.
