Now before we go any further, let me be perfectly clear: When I say target practice, I am referring to the TRAFFIC CONES... not the men working on the road. :D
So tell me, be honest now, there is no one here but you and me... when you see those cones lined up in the street like that, don't you want to run them over? I mean, driving down the road, you suddenly spot a long single file of traffic cones... They're sitting there... not moving, just waiting for you. No? Yes? Maybe? Well, I've never done it, but I always get a chuckle when I see them there, waiting for me!
I figure, the bigger your vehicle, the more tempting it is to run them over. And the smaller your vehicle, the more tempting it is to use them as an obstacle course, to see how fast you can swerve back and forth through them to the end of the line.

Interesting. Around here those cones are used for little distractions and for bigger projects they use orange barrels. Now made out of plastic.

I have never thought of doing that. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the nerve to run them over. . .I'm always tempted, as you are. . . . . I sometimes thin that same of those stupid, orange, pseudo-cans that they use, too.
ReplyDeleteThere are people in our neighborhood who have smaller, personal versions of these cones that they put out in the middle of the street when their children are out playing.
BTW. . .Answered the resolution tag on yesterday's blog.
There's this part of a narrow street I drive on sometimes that has a 6 foot drop off and I always thank goodness for the cones alongside it. I'd be falling in a big deep ditch if I tried to hit one.
ReplyDeleteThese cones remind me of driving school :), purpose as obstacles to drive around.
