The only speeding ticket I ever got was in a North Carolina town where I came off I-85 (65 mph) onto an exit which dropped to 25 mph immediately. The exit was a long straight run, not a curve, and it even led into its own lane. But there was a perfectly placed billboard that allowed a hidden cop to hit you with radar while--even if you were carefully braking down from highway speed--you were still going about 50.

Re: Silly pics...what'cha got??....maybe NSFW
I've only ever had two speeding tickets. Both were in speed traps. The first one was in Newago, MI, where the highway into town curves down a steep hill. At the bottom of the hill the speed limit falls from 55 to 30, and that's where the prowler hides.
I was driving with my dad while I was still on my learner's permit and I thought it meant I would never get a license. To make sure I learned a lesson, dad made me appear in court in Newago to pay the ticket in person. I thought I would have to appear before a judge in full regalia. Instead I met a clerk who was amused that some kid drove all the way up from Grand Rapids to pay a ticket. The lesson I learned was that my dad was being a dick.

That's hilarious, especially because my younger kid is getting his Learner's next month.Kraken wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 9:18 pm I was driving with my dad while I was still on my learner's permit and I thought it meant I would never get a license.

When I got my first (and only) ticket right after I started driving, I was scared to death. I thought "going to court" meant I would be on trial, being cross-examined by a Perry Mason-esque lawyer while a sneering cop pointed his finger at me. To my naive brain, I was only one step above a felon.
When I got to court and saw 100 bored people in line just paying fines, I realized how dumb I was. It was all just a moneymaking racket.
I'm glad I got that ticket, because it opened my eyes to what the system really was.
I've only had one other close call - cop pulled me in a small town while I was up near Charlotte having evacuated for Hurricane Florence. He let me off with a warning when I told him where I was from, because at the time my town was completely cut off by flood waters. First time a hurricane has ever gotten me out of a speeding ticket!

I think they were on L when they did the signage.

But, the sign up top was just blacked out by photoshop.
I guess I don't really get what was weird/funny/worth sharing in this picture... Am I missing something?
Is the entire joke that they have an extra L in English?
I mean, to me, the joke is that an English Breakfast sucks so much that there really isn't anyone that want's it available all day - but I'm sure that's not it.

Re: Silly pics...what'cha got??....maybe NSFW
I assumed it was a play on "Golden Gril" = "Golden Girl".
It looks like the missing L is ... I think maybe a chicken leg? It looks like that a roasted chicken might be their logo. And they use a leg sticking up as the first L. And then someone blacked out the entire chicken using photoshop. Though I suppose it's possible it's real and the chicken fell off the sign, leaving that dark area where it had been.

Great setup, but I think they botched the punchline. Better would have been if the real wife just knifed herself.

I don't want to go off on a tangent here but, it's going to be hard to incorporate Curly into Euclidean geometry jokes... You are going to need to give me a sine if you want me to continue.

Sure looks like it a bit.
I only know what you are referring to because I was watching a Big Fat Quiz of everything and that was the answer to one of the questions. And one of the guests even demonstrated it!
