Parallel Parking Only

New construction on Monkey Island in Oklahoma at Shangri-la has created an interesting waste of space. Looks like they would have wanted to tear out the asphalt or plant grass before building the wall.

The Quick and The Dead...

Is this another case of a sign ordered by phone? Should this say....."Funeral Home...Crematory & Cemetery Graves...Chapel"? Perhaps the Chapel's name is "Graves," or else some sicko has started putting graves IN the chapel. Coffeyville, KS is the home of this funeral home.

"Can't see the forest OR the trees"

Someone has WAY to much TIME on their hands...These "tree" statues are in Coffeyville, KS. There is a pencil, giraffe, snake, the Twin Towers and more. Sorry, I can't tell you the artist's name.

Hot Gas Prices!

Record highs set in Galena, KS Thursday...unleaded hit $2.63 and according to the bank, the temperature...134?

Mapquest, Google and Yahoo Maps Could Do Better

Someone really needs to standardize the length of a mile for the sign industry. These four signs are ALL at the same intersection (Hwy 137 and 10) by Shawnee Grocery east of Miami, OK. Oh, if you were wondering, Twin Bridges State Park is AT the US-60 Junction.

Big Production Cards

Could this be a new version of the popular game, "Texas Hold'em" created by the famous boxer or Tony Holden Productions? I doubt it. Note to self: Never order a sign over the phone. This is on Main Street in Joplin, MO.

A Few More Weeks of Driving School....

It's been said that SWIFT trucking stands for "Sure Wish I'd Finished Training." Perhaps this trucking company, CRST is "Can't Really Steer Trucks", or "Couldn't Really See the Trailer." No offense to the skilled truck driving work force of America, not knowing the circumstances of this incident. However, it was a truck driver buddy of mine that told me the SWIFT acronym and I'm sure there are many other jokes and stabs between truck lines.

STOP RIGHT THERE!

Everyone knows the sign on the right means "stop ahead." So, the one on the left would be.....stop behind?....stop afoot?....stop below? Or, "hey, stupid, you shoulda stopped way back there!"

Drive-Thru?

Perhaps business would be better if they'd go ahead and change the parking policy? (Chad, you know where this is...don't tell!)

Mergyielding

Is it just me, or is there a great deal of confusion over these three signs? I can't tell you how many times I've come upon the sign on the right ("merging traffic") when a vehicle in the incoming lane has the red sign in the center ("YIELD") and seems to think they have the right to do what the sign on the left says (lane ENDING, move left.) I don't think anyone knows how to yield, anymore.
