The Question of Virginia

Junk: 02.28.09 star Culture, Observations star

Speed Hump Traffic SignWhile driving in Arlington, Virginia the other night I came across a peculiar sign that read: “Speed Hump”. Since I was unfamiliar with this sign I began contemplating the uniqueness of the great Commonwealth of Virginia, the “Mother of Presidents” (it’s the birthplace of eight presidents), and its state constitution having been written by the smartest founder of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. So why would it have such a sign? Then I remembered the state slogan, “Virginia is for lovers”—now, hold the phone… can that really be true with a sign that reads: “Speed Hump”?

Let this be a reminder to you all: Obey all traffic signs.
