Signs, What Signs?

I found this amusing this morning:

The new road signs at the corner of Routes 10 and 141 feature the numbers inside an outline of the great state of Alabama.

Problem is, the intersection is smack dab in downtown Easthampton, Mass. In a commonwealth known for its confusing road signs and ‘’can’t get there” complaints, this latest gaffe is among the strangest. Even more curiously, no one took much notice when the wayward signs went up about a week ago.

‘’We thought it was Connecticut turned upside down,” said a woman who works for the contractor, A. Pereira Construction Co. of Ludlow.

‘’Actually, we didn’t know what it was,” said Roger Remy, the contractor’s estimator, who ordered the signs from another company. ‘’We didn’t really question it, because the numbers were correct.”

Silly contractors. No one in Massachusetts pays attention to signs.
