One-Way on Elm

About a month ago, the county decided to make one block of Elm Street one way in Raymond. First they put up a sign saying one-way, but the towns people kept driving past the sign and not noticing it. The next day, another one-way sign was put up on the other side of the road. No one paid any attention. So the next day, they put up a barrier. This got some attention, but it wasn’t the right kind of attention. The morning after they added the barrier, I noticed that someone had hit it. The next morning, it had completely collapsed. Another morning, someone had thrown it up onto the grass. Needless to say, it was very amusing to watch. However, it wasn’t amusing to the people who finally received a ticket from our local police force. Johnny Law just calmly waited a block down from the site and waited for cars to appear. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
