I just listened to a recording of a lady on the radio calling in to complain about the location of "deer crossing" signs. This is something that has always perplexed me as well. Why put the deer in such danger? Why would you ask them to cross IH-10 where the speed limit is 70? Just doesn't seem like a smart move to me. Put the signs on side roads somewhere where the speed limit is 35. If I was a deer I'd tell you to kiss my butt. I'm not gonna cross IH-10. What happens if they don't do it? Do they go to deer jail?

And another one that bugs me is every time I pull into my neighborhood, there is a sign that says "slow gate". Put a faster damn motor on it. I think I'm smart enough to hit the breaks and wait for the gate to open without being told that it's slow. How stupid do they think we are?

And how damn hungry were the original settlers in this Country? How come they had to name all the hilly passes the same name? I can't tell you how many "do-nut pass" signs I've seen on the road! And they don't even spell it right!

Another one that gets my goat is when you go into the restroom at Lowe's, there is a big sign that says "employees must wash hands". That's it. Doesn't say after you pee. Doesn't say before returning to work. Just wash your hands people. (when you're working in a big warehouse store, is that such a big deal anyway?)(I can see it when you're making me my steak burrito or something, but loading sheetrock?)

I saw one the other day while driving past a car wash. It said "free senior citizen wash today only". Seems like there are other ways to get Granny to wash her pits. I think this would be a little humiliating also. "All you old folks strip down and stand over there while Buford pulls out the firehose".

But out of all of the signs that I've seen, the one that I think is the cruelest, most inhumane out there is the one that says "slow children crossing". Don't we live in a society that shouldn't be putting people down? Especially childrens? These poor kids who have to cross there are just trying to fit in. They don't need it announced to the world that they're "slow"!
