How does being a roadgeek change your outlook on the world? Does it make anything funnier, or does it confuse you ever? Here's a story of my own.
I'm in math class, learning about square roots. However, I'm getting really confused everytime the teacher says 'square root sign' becasue I keep thinking of this: (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kurumi.com%2Froads%2Fct%2Fmarkers%2Fct302.png&hash=bd333fee63990d91568d17e0b0fa0377c0ee7167) Silly me... :sombrero:

I laugh every time 'Sesame Street' is mentioned.
I used to be amused by the old BP logo that was in the shape of the Interstate shield. Same thing with Phillips 66 with the faux Route 66 shield.

(Just FYO) The BP shield logo predates the Interstate shield. It appeared in about 1930, not too long after the US route shield.

Why were eyeglasses invented?
So you can have a Clearview of the signs. X-(

Oh that's refreshing to know I'm not the only one who has no clue what this could even remotely mean.
I assume it means "me first." You can guess the rest.

urbandictionary.com confirms that.
Me first, forget you. Except sometimes a different word is used for the second F.
Nope. Me first, fuck you. Yeah now I see why...

Why is it hard for them to get good grades?
Because they are now unable to get an "A".

Is that old South Park fan fic still online? I just looked for it on kurumi.com and didn't see it...
In shop class in 6th grade, we learned how to do blueprints in "single stroke Gothic lettering." The teacher said this form of lettering was in all-capitals because "the Goths had no lowercase."
We learned how to do it all over again when I was a high school sophomore, because I had moved from public to private schools, and the private schools are way behind.

This is humourous, I think.

Being familiar with that intersection, I would have to agree.
I see they finally got a 3di of I-66 built! :biggrin:

- Trebuchet MS is a pretty good casual substitute for FHWA or Clearview, but it works better in bold.
- Whose face is that in the vortex?
- Bubble shield.
and no yellow on the bottom for a 2 exit only lanes?

Isn't that the north end of I-664 in Virginia?
