	[True story]

	The little shopping center near my home in Amherst, Massachusetts
has a parking area with two entrance ramps.  One entrance has a "No Exit"
sign because a bend in the road makes it it difficult to see the oncoming
traffic.  However, drivers regularly exit via this ramp, surprising
pedestrians, cyclists, etc.

	The shopping center administrators have taken steps to combat this
problem by adding more signs with truly hysterical results.  Right now,
if you drive to this non-exit, you are greeted with the following
barrage of traffic information attached to a telephone pole...

			       WRONG
			  	WAY

			      PLEASE
			       TURN
			       BACK

				NO
			       EXIT

			      PLEASE

			        ONE
			        WAY
			       <---

You would think that five traffic signs, including a "PLEASE" sign (has
anybody else ever seen one of these??), would deter the lawbreakers.
Not a chance!

	I point out the signs to my out-of-town guests, and they shake their
heads with wonder.  Massachusetts drivers are truly a force to be reckoned
with.
