When theres plenty of fckin room in front of the guy and he refuses to speed up a bit, which allows everyone and their mother to cut in front of him. Then when you switch lanes to pass him he speeds up to block you from passing him.. I swear I will jump through my windshield and kick you in the back of the head!!! (this happened recently with a 3 series driver lmao)

True. As far as it goes. Snopes says the signs came out because of the death of an infant that did not occur.

Be that as it may, reports from emergency response personnel say they are glad to see the signs when they arrive at an accident scene so they know what to look for.
What if you don't have a baby in the car and you forget to take the sign down? Emergency crews will be out there all night looking for a baby that isn't there at all. Will you be given a fine for falsely claiming to be carrying a baby and wasting valuable resource time? The emergency crews might be late saving a burning bus load of deaf, mentally impaired nuns due to false advertising. Can you live with that? What if the glass is broken where the sign is hanging? What if the responders mistakenly think the sign is a warning that says "Rabies-on-Board" and run for safety leaving a perfectly good baby in a ditch to be eaten by feral cats? Perhaps people should have Baby-on-Board painted on their doors, hood, and roof, just to be safe.

Hi Curmudgeon,

Sorry to go off piste as it were, but is "The Beaver State" as good as it sounds?

Ah, just Googled...

"The Beaver is Oregon's state mammal because before they starting building houses there they saw the beavers making their own house."

So, to answer my own question...

No.
Damn (no pun intended), sounded promising though. If Carlsberg made towns eh..... I'm on your wave length mate.....

If you constantly feel the need to go 2 knuckles deep picking your nose, please do us all a favor and get some nice dark tint. I have no need to see the "treasure" you've discovered while scratching your brain. Thank you

Have to update this . On the jersey turnpike doing a good 95 when a shit ass chevy minivan has its brights on and is riding my ass. I keep slowing down until I am doing 30 and start driving in two lanes so that asshole cant pass me without ease. I kept doing it for a good 2-3 mins until I saw more cars behind him.

30 min later a pirus driver is flashing his lights at me. This really pissed me off because I was doing once again a good 80-85 in the left lane so I let him pass and started riding his ass until he exited. God damn these idiots
