Sometime in the dim past I saw a sign in a neighborhood that said, "DEAR CROSSING", with stick figures of kids.

quite a few years back, the local DOT, put up a sign about 100' from my driveway....."slow children playing". well, the wife wasnt long getting on the phone telling some poor person that " sure the kids arent gunna be rocket scientists, and she felt that the sign was offensive and wanted it removed!" ;)

They put that sign up at on the road (dirt road out to a peninsula) to our cottage. My brother and I used to play on that road all the time and always laughed that the DOT considered us "challenged."

lol, It's a little hard to believe this phone call is for real.
I agree it is hard, but it does feel real. She sounds a little too smart for the light not to have gone on, but I can see how she just had enough of a disconnect to not completely get it. I am betting she is blonde, I have flown some pretty stupid stuff by the ones I know :eek: Fliipin' hilarious though :D

Sorry for the blonde comment, but this might get a post out of LadyFish. It's like waving chocolate in front of MiniMe "it's like catnip for clones" :)

My wife works for the DOT. Ohh, the stories she tells....

And not all of 'them' are civilians. Some are her bosses :facepalm:

I don't know how to post a video here but if you want to know how dangerous a deer can be, look up "Joe and the bambulance"

Awesome!! Thanks for the follow up. She's definitely a little clueless despite speaking well. Pretty cool that it's real though. Priceless.

That guy wasn't very helpful to that young lady (Blonde?) Why don't they build bridges at deer crossings? Better yet how about a push to walk traffic light.
