    Too Damn Funny!

    I'm on a roadtrip. Today I was driving along through Oklahoma, and the interstate was being repaved, so they had the usual detours, construction gear, slower speed limits, etc. At the end of this one section, the company doing the work had put up a large, nice-looking sign saying, "Sorry for the inconvenience!"

    Below it, someone had written in marker, "and thanks for all the fish."



    I almost went off the road laughing. No hitchhikers in sight though!

    Amazing what an impact those books have had on modern philosophy.

    No kidding. Someone actually took the time to stop on a busy interstate, at a point when everyone is rapidly accelerating; then that person bothered to find a marker, walk back to the sign, and make the addition. And all so that a couple of people like me could have a laugh.

    It's from Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy series. Probably just a geek thing!

    You should come to Ottawa someday and hang out at the Zaphod nightclub. They even have an insanely alcoholic blue drink called the 'pangalactic cargoblaster'. Je t'aime! It is the choice club of geeks and alternafolk...but lol, being from LA, I think any of our 'night scene' would seem hilariously quaint.

    ^ It's actually a "pangalactic GARGLEblaster", if I may be a technical shithead. I have a friend who lives up that way and he DJ'd at Zaphod's a couple of times, if I am not mistaken. Great sign, Yek, you should've snagged a pic of it.

    I wanted to pull over and take a picture, but it would've been a bit dangerous to try and pull over while everyone was speeding up. It was great, though!
