In Guam, do they have signs that say “Slow Men Working” as a description of the men? Once in South Miami, I was mulling over the signs trying to determine what they meant, and my sister said to me, “You think the signs are *lying* to you? I came from a place where “Left lane closed ahead” had no relationship to the lane that was actually closed, and, yes, there were definitely slow men working.

LOLzy. I haven't seen any of those, but here in Japan, a department store near my home used to have two signs directing traffic, one arrow pointing to "Roof Level Parking" and the other to "Gland Level Parking". Thought about sending a snapshot in to the Late Show, but then remembered that I hate Letterman. There is a parking garage in town that has little signs cautioning "Maximum Verocity 15kmh".

None of these however, is as zing-worthy as discovering the reason that you can't find that rare tome you've been looking for is because you're here:

Then, for the intrepid, there's this.

Okay, I'm infected! If there's a Dead Thread Ping list, I'd like to be on it, if possible.

Road rage was invented in 1980’s New Jersey due to this:
Sign says, “Lane closed for your convenience” followed by “You tax dollars at work” and there are twenty men standing around doing nothing.
That’s why they now have those bumper barrier trucks and put up large concrete slabs.
Too many people saw the men not working and broke formation to drive stomping ruin over the slackers.
They also no longer use the sign cheerfully telling you “Lane closed for your convenience”.
