Monty by Jim Meddick for March 21, 2021

And, the timing was perfect.

Monty has found that space called between a rock and a hard place.

As I recall, these signs now say “Fallen Rock”.

The guy with the stop and slow signs timed that perfectly.

Could have been a runaway success if it was a Cattle Crossing but a felony is it was a Blind Crossing.

would save if he passed fast

Bonus points for the highway employee.

you guys are fired. :(

Orange cone season is just opening

He had to slow the driver down so the boulder had a chance to hit.

Where was he going? Perhaps to visit Brutus Thornapple?

In New Jersey, the politicians have rigged it so that there has to be an OFF-DUTY police officer standing there making $800 for the day paid for by the utility co. Just one more reason why it’s impossibly expensive to do anything in the state.

And Monty gets a new car!

No need for the sign now – it says: “Rock” and not “rocks.”

No need for the sign now – it says: “Rock” and not “Rocks.”

The “falling rock” has happened. So, now they can remove the sign. That should take up the rest of the day.

Government at work. A useless look-busy job ignoring the whole point. They also have lots of numbers and statistics showing how well they are doing.

Irony

In Australia, the only thing that kept people from shooting up the expensive signs located in remote locations was putting up a metal target next to the sign. The targets were cheap and easily replaced.

Clever how they placed the cones to force him over to the left where the rock would fall.

As my daughter always says: “Mom, they wouldn’t put the signs up if it didn’t happen!”

I’ve always wondered what I, as a motorist, was supposed to do about “falling rock(s)”. Or for that matter the advice “Be prepared to stop”—aren’t all motorists supposed to “be prepared to stop” at all times?

Great staging! Hilarious!

Monty? Monty? If you’re alive and can hear me, hire a good personal injury lawyer and sue, sue, sue!
