SIGN-US CONGESTION
October 1993
VIGNETTE #1
“Honey, we better pull over.”
“Why?”
“Because there’s another one of those binocular signs.”
“I don’t see anything.”
“You know the government wouldn’t put up a binocular sign if there wasn’t a darn good reason.”
“Okay, but all I see is that gravel pit over there.”
“Well...maybe that’s it. Maybe a certain kind of bird or something likes to nest in gravel pits.”
“I never heard of such a thing.”
“As
I recall, you are no ornithologist. The people who put up these signs
want us to have a wonderful vacation. This is our tax dollars at work!
Hey.. what are you doing?”
“Getting out my camera.”
“You can’t do that.”
“Why not?
“That’s a BINOCULAR sign, not a CAMERA sign.”
“But...”
“If there was a reason to take pictures, they’d have a sign.”
“So now what do we do?”
“What do you mean?”
“WE don’t have any binoculars.”
“oh.”
