Traffic signs and signals

1. It's especially important in winter, with its snow and ice, to obey the signs. Otherwise you might have to bear the consequences. http://community.webshots.com/photo/29250651/29250654UycVufOpon

2. Of course, if you come to a traffic light, you will know what to do, will you not? What could be simpler?   http://www.amusingpics.com/viewimage.php?id=231&file=stop.jpg

3. signalfan.com: http://www.signalfan.com/ ___ Sign Language: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/6616/

5.Traffic signs should give you clear directions, should they not? Here is one, which I translate to mean Work in progress. To go to or by the right, keep to the left. Incroyable? http://community.webshots.com/photo/29250651/29250672CXjZXkQmSI

6. Here's a fellow who either did not pay enough attention to the above sign, or did not know quite enough French. He thought it referred to parallel parking, mon Dieu! http://community.webshots.com/photo/27454915/27500415tyzGuepnJV

7. Remember, that when signs point to some of the indigenous wildlife to be seen in a scenic area, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. http://community.webshots.com/photo/27454915/28396415jzQTTfixtZ

Cultural vagaries

1. Further to this question of language, and travelling in a different country, is that your very appearance might set you apart for special attention. It is best to be confident, but polite. http://community.webshots.com/photo/34168650/34168725CIsVcO

12. PMS parking technique

Well, OK, if those suggestions for parking don't work, you might -- no, you just must -- take note of the following video. It offers a totally new and creative way to park your car. In fact, it adds a whole new meaning to the term parallel parking! On the following page, http://webpages.charter.net/bdube/humor.html, click on the image of a white car (about a one-quarter of a screen down) under the following heading:  

PMS Parking

I know from time to time, that  women seem to suffer from PMS. Why not put that pent up energy to use to park your car? Another man made mechanical device to cause you grief. Click the picture to start the stream.

My interpretation is that PMS stands for Punch Mercedes Sideways. A word of caution is in order. This technique will take a bit of practice. Try it on an older car first -- preferably someone else's.


11. Why can't you park this one in left field? Because, even if you park it in the right field, there isn't any field left!
