A detailed street sign

street sign

It’s probably just me but this street sign in my town gives me the giggles. It’s at an intersection and as you can see, is very detailed on how the intersection looks.

I don’t know why.  I picture the employee who took the time to draw a detailed picture for the sign maker.  Or the poor person who happens upon the intersection for the first time, in the dark, and drives off the road (I’d like to ask a newcomer if this sign is helpful).  Or the devious street planner who created an intersection knowing how the sign would look.

Whatever it is, I’m pretty certain I am the only person who sees humor in this.  I’m okay with that.

Confused yet?

Nobody Cried

It came as a great shock to everyone, the day his life was abruptly done.

They assumed he’d live forever, they’d say to one another:

(of course, after he’d shut his office door that is when the best gossip would begin to roar)

“He’s a grump,” “He’s a miser,” they all said so it was with no sorrow they learned he was dead.

In fact, they threw the biggest party, still going, so they tell me.
