Sometimes the world is funny.
Jun. 27th, 2010 06:55 pmAmusing signs seen around Knoxville today:
"Texting Dictionary: Want 2 Know What UR Kids R Sayin?" - Indie bookstore.
"Air Quality Alert! Try Carpooling." - One of those digital traffic report signs over the interstate. I love the half-heartedness of it. "Smog is infesting our city because of all the cars (and the fact that we're in a valley that traps it all). You might think about reducing your auto emissions. You know, if you feel like it. We don't want to tell you what to do or anything."
"Right lane closed." - This is not funny on its own, but because of the context: someone placed the sign three feet behind a utility pole. You cannot actually see it until you're next to it, and by then you need to have merged unless there's no traffic whatsoever. Oh, TDOT.
