Funny - FLIP OFF sign fixed in Spokane Washington


Finger-Flipping Crosswalk Sign Fixed
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/12/02/finger-flipping-crosswalk-sign-fixed/

A “Don’t Walk” signal at a crosswalk in Spokane, Wash., sent a most impolite message to pedestrians on Wednesday, "flipping the bird" at people waiting on the corner until the city got around to fixing it.

The electronic sign's raised hand, the universal signal to stop, was working fine. But it was missing some fingers -- two on the left and one on the right -- leaving the middle digit proudly standing alone.

“We fixed it, snow was embedded in the electric sign,” she told Foxnews.com.

2. There is a huge reace-track near here.
Infineon.

When Winston was still a major sposor for NASCAR, the final were called the Winston Sprint Cup.

A few years ago, the HUGE sign on Hwy 37 read Winston Spit Cup. NASCAR claimed it was an honest mistake.

5. It was appropriate
Cross now, and you're fucked.

Who could possibly misinterpret that?

3. Justified
I live in Spokane. Drivers here deserve to be flipped off, not the pedestrians.
