File under: Pictures of the week?
Owner-operator Vince Crisanti sent along these pictures of two "No Engine Braking" signs with a warning to municipalities about the grammarians out there running the roads. There are plenty of us that well remember what we were taught in elementary school about double negatives.
Crisanti had been rolling through such-and-such tiny town in such-and-such rural county in such-and-such breadbasket state a couple weeks ago when he noticed one such sign. All well and good, but as he was slowing, mentally processing the reality of the engine braking prohibition in the town, and before the first sign was even out of eyeshot, yet another sign saying exactly the same thing appeared up ahead.
