HAHAHHAHAHA LOL Okay, let me guess. Some idiot had a head on collision on that road and sued because there was no warning sign! I have NEVER seen a sign like that. You should go and get a picture of it and send it in to Jay Leno!  |

I grew up in Michigan. Driving there scares the bejeezus out of me, because drivers there aren't half as polite as they are in NorCal.
And what's sad is that some people probably need that sign to remind them... |

| Okay, maybe 'polite' wasn't quite the right word for NorCal drivers. But I've definitely been on the road with worse :) |

| HA HA ROTFLMAO!!! Thanx Kevin, when I saw this topic title my intention was to post that pic, nice to see it had already been done. I would like to point out that the sign is fully mounted, it has not slipped, it is actually hanging that way. What could it possibly mean? We actually drove about another mile laughing our asses off about it before we decided we had to go back and get a picture. Obviously, it was a slow day hehe. |

I must just be missing the boat here, I didn't find it all that funny, isn't it a NO U Turn sign? Ok now I get it, it looks like no going up? Sorry, I just think differently. |

| Look at the WHOLE picture, it's on the wrong side of the road AND facing the wrong direction for it to make ANY sense. |

| DAMN captain! I may just have to visit... luckily there is always a lot of constuction going on here at UCI as they always seem to be adding a new building or something... actually I just read they are putting a new state of the art hospital on campus, so those construction sites are always good for something. |

your tax dollars...giggle
In Virginia, your tax dollars would go to this chair i'm sitting in, this computer i'm typing on, and this bus that i sleep on at work. I'm getting paid with those same tax dollars to sleep, to post on this board, to talk to people on AIM. What a waste!!
On a related note, one of my friends has a road sign outside of his house that gets stolen a lot, "Dynamite Road." Small surprise, it's a cool name! |

| Is Dynamite Road the name of the street he lives on? If so that is a pretty cool name. Much better that the street my brother lives on... "Lovely Lane" |

| I remember one of our BORED members attended a high school that with one small letter change became very obscene. Can't recall the specifics now, but that seems to fit the topic. |

| Nope, it was simpler than that, you just had to take away one letter to make it read different. I will see if I can find it. Good ole search engine. |

It was JAY quote:
I think i already posted this, but the high (DON"T TELL ME TO LAY OF THE WEED JUST CAUSE I SAID "HIGH!") school in my town says Chardon High School on the front, and in one of Chardon's famous snow storms, it fell of, turning Chardon High School into....Hard-on High School...it was on all the news channels, and everybody thought it was funny, so the school left the "c" off for the rest of the school year, but put it back up in the summer. And now if you go up to the school, there are aboot thirty screws in it so it won't fall down again...yes, good ole Chardon
from:http://www.timreynolds.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=573
Speaking of funny road signs, I rediscoved this one from another thread while searching for the Chardon reference:
For the history and location of this sign, SEE:
