Or, how about getting on the interstate around Olympia and seeing a sign saying "Vancouver, I-5 North, 150 miles" and, right below it, another sign saying "Vancouver, I-5 South, 200 miles".  (No such signs exist to my knowledge). |
Camron - I'm sure you know most of the people who get confused on the "Vancouver" signs are Californians.
BTW - the best freeway sign we had around here (it's gone now due to a reconstruction of the exit where it was posted) said the following:
"Cemetery - Mortuary
No return to freeway - Westbound"
