Forwarded Message: From: Jim Hofmann <hofmann@AMSAA.ARPA> What really bothers me, Fred is those signs you find near construction areas. I mean here are all these guys sweating and hard at work and you get really impressed by all this progress going on (o.k. - you do get a little peeved by the traffic jams sometimes caused) and then you get near the end and some ANARCHIST(!!!!) has put up a sign saying: --------------------------- | | | E N D | | | | C O N S T R U C T I O N | | | --------------------------- Where does this group come from. I've also seen thier handy work right outside of town limits with those signs that say - "End Town Maintenance" If we didn't have construction of town maintenance things would get decrepit and dirty and OLD !!!! I'd just like to meet one of these jackasses so I can punch his commie lights out !!!! Take heart, because usually near this signs are counter-signs which say "Start Construction" -Jim -- All characters mentioned herein are fictitious.

You think THAT's bad? What about all those ``EXIT'' signs over the doors of theatres and restaurants? You see them everywhere there's likely to be a large group of people gathered. Who is it who wants us to leave as soon as we get there? Personally, I think it's space aliens who are trying to keep us humans from organizing and plotting against them. Have you noticed that they sometimes screw up and print the letter ``T'' upside down, but print the other three letters right side up? -- All characters mentioned herein are fictitious.

Another sign found at the start of construction areas (at least in
some particularly unpopulated parts ow Wyoming) is
/\
/ \
/ AVOID \
/ \
/ BROKEN \
\ /
\ WINDSHIELD /
\ /
\ /
\/
I regret to say that it usually has a speed limit sign under it,
which ruins the effect

Another sign, found outside (and facing outside) the entrance to a schoolyard in Socorro, NM, is: +-----------+ | Entrance | | Only | +-----------+ (Think about it) Bob
