Throughout my years I’ve been
accused of many things unfortunately, being smart is not one of them.
Still, I try to maintain the
charade by using that age-old saying, “If you can’t dazzle them with
brilliance, baffle them with bull$#!+.”
Nearly every politician uses that
sentence as a motto because it is a proven effective tool.
And it is very often that I am
able to see right through all that baloney.
Other people, it’s sad to say, cannot.
As an example, a handful of years
ago a woman called a radio station to voice her complaint to a particular road
sign. It seems as though she was
traveling on a road surrounded by woods containing a copious amount of deer
that were causing traffic accidents.
At first I thought this call was
bogus. Then, more about this arose in
the news which changed my mind altogether.
You can be the judge by following
this link to that original radio show segment. Simply click on the video below:
The Iowa Department of
Transportation used the ever-so-popular social media to attempt to spread the
word about deer.
In Iowa
To help the public better
understand the danger, and also help with those ‘deer crossing’ signs, the Iowa
DOT issued this message:
“Deer
can’t read signs. Drivers can. This sign isn’t intended to tell deer where to
cross, it’s for drivers to be alert that deer have been in this area in the
past.”
So, the next time you see one of
those yellow signs displaying a jumping deer, think about your vote being
nullified by fellow drivers who think those signs are for the deer to read.
This has been a public service
announcement from EasternShoreFishAndGame.com.
