I-70 between Green River and Salinas, Utah, is flanked with the
following signs:
No Services
Next 100 Miles
Utah Highway Patrol has two troopers who partol this stretch; it's
amazing the number of people who refuse to acknowlege that "No
Services" means no gas, no water, no phone, no water, no place to stop,
nothing but sand and brown sun-baked rocks, and most importantly no
water. ;^)
Utahns familiar with the area fall into two camps: one group wants
to expand the signage so even MS-Windows users can uderstand:
Caution: No services next 100 miles. No phone, no gas,
! and *no water.* There is absolutely *NO WATER* in the
next 100 miles of highway.
Abort FillUp Ignore
The other group, whch I belong to, maintains that people who break down
on this stretch of highway and don't even have drinking water with them
are too stupid to live, and strengthen our species by removing
themselves and their offspring the from the gene pool. Darwinism
thrives!
