PT Cruiser Calls In

When I was out blogging I got a call from PT Cruiser saying he'd just seen one of my signs: "It was out on the 280: 'Peace on Earth.'"

"One of many, let me tell you... I've hung something like thirty signs so far today. You should see the 101 in Marin... it looks like a goddam art project. Wait a sec... what're you doing?""


"Just thought I'd hang a couple of signs... "
"YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU! I'll kill you myself! How many are you putting up?"

"Just a few... not many."
"Well, I've taken all the good spots... bastard! C'mon, how many?"
"Maybe five or six... not many. Just wanted to keep you honest."
"I hate you. Happy New Year."
"You too. Don't worry, you'll make it."
"You're killing me. You know that, right?"
