Okay, so I live in a pretty small town of about 13,000 people in northern Canada and since it is a small town, people tend to find fun things to do in very odd places.

I'm bringing up the 'odd' places bit because of this one stop sign in the middle of town. Now, this isn't an average sign, no, this probably started out with someone accidentally turning too sharp and crushing the poor sign, but that turned into a game of 'who can run this thing over the most?'.

This new 'game' took off just like a fire in the fall. Seriously, this sign was flattened at least once a week and since it was literally trying to become a part of the pavement, it had to be replaced every freaking week.

You'd think that with the need to replace this piece of metal so often that someone would come up with some sort of solution like "Hey guys! Maybe we should move the sign back farther so it's not so close to the street!" but nope. So the game continued on for about 1-2 more years until some guy that we'll name Billy Joe finally had a plan.

My take on Billy Joe's 'experience':

Billy J. - Alright, today's the day! Today Ima go tell the others about this genius plan.

With all of the confidence in the world, Billy J. quickly hops out of his 1965 pickup, gathers his notes and makes his way into the conference room where all of the important people of the town are locked in.

Important Guy #1 - Billy Joe, why do you always lock us in here? Anyways what 'genius' plan have you come up with time?

Billy J. - Okay, so this new invention of mine is going to save our community so much money-

Important Guy #2 - Money? Okay, I'm intrigued.

Billy J. - Good! Okay, here it is!

With a huge smile on his face, Billy Joe pulls a large, metal thing out of his potato sack and holds it out for everyone to see.

Important Guy #3 - Is... Is that what I think it is?

Billy J. - Yes! It is a huge spring! My plan is to attach this to the bottom of the stop sign so when it gets run over it'll just spring right back up!

Important Guy #1 - Billy... This may be the best idea you have ever had.

And with that, Billy Joe attached his beloved spring to the stop sign.

*The End*

Billy Joe's plan may not have stopped people from running the sign over but it did stop the important guys from needing to replace it every week.... well at least it worked for about 4 years.

Four years after Billy Joe installed the infamous spring (Which brings us to the present year) , a new guy we'll call Steven Boh moved into town. 

Now, Steven Boh was from a big, big city so he was used to having lots of crosswalk signs everywhere and since we don't have very many in our small town, he made a plan to get more.

So, Steven B. went to the important gals and proposed his idea of having more crosswalk signs around the community. They totally agreed with him so they gave him 1 sign to go hammer into the ground (Is that what they do? Idk) wherever he wanted.

Now you are probably thinking "Oh, where did Steven put the sign?" but trust me, you know the answer, yep he put it right next to the damned stop sign.

I you not when I say that they literally set that sign up 2 days ago and it is already flattened! But do you know what's not flat? You guessed it, the stop sign.

Okay, so that was just a fun little story that I thought of when I drove through toen and noticed the newly squashed sign XD
