I'm not a blond..........

I had been on a prospective job site in Jennings, and Mermentau, Louisiana, and had a rental car. I was to drive to New Orleans to catch a flight back to Memphis. As I approached the airport, I started to exit, only to see the sign reading "NO AIRPORT RENTAL CAR RETURN." So I drove on the the next exit thinking there was where I needed to be. Only this sign read "NO AIRPORT POLICE." I made one complete circuit before I realized the sign meant "New Orleans Airport Rental Car Return."

Yeah, I felt like a blond joke!

I think THAT would be a blonde joke ONLY if you were a NO resident.

For all others in the world, it would have been the normal interpretation of that sign... certainly for me!

That is really funny! What was the look on your face like when you realized NO is New Orleans?

When I first came out here, I went over the river to MN on I90.
On the way back, I encountered a sign that said "French Is" with an arrow pointing to the exit.
I said to myself, "French is WHAT?" LOL
It meant French Island. DUH.

They used to have a sign along the 405 freeway to let the Hispanics know when to get off - It said LA AIRPORT next exit.
Today they have updated them to tell you a little bit about their city employees and they read LAX AIRPORT next exit.

LOL...you'd think they would at least make up the signs so they read "N.O. AIRPORT RENTAL CAR RETURN".

I'm not a blond but I sure can pretend to be one.

I back my work van into my drive way at a slight angle that makes it hard to see any vehicles coming from the right. (Very little traffic on our street but it only takes once.) The convex wide angle mirrors I added to the side mirrors don't help and so I found an add on mirror that I put on the left side one and used for a year or two. Then it seems I hit a limb a few months back and the added on mirror came off and I did not notice it until the next day. So, I was planning to order another one, but I'm sitting in my van trying to figure out if there is a better way/place to put a mirror. Like on the passenger sun visor or such... while doing all this I accidentally hit the rear view mirror.. and it gets cocked over to the right..... and there is a perfect view of the road off to the right! Duh!
