Not bad. But here is the all-time winner of the “Not My Job Competition”

It would have been a great match if it were a skunk and the line was white.

Maybe the paint truck was painting at night, killed and painted it, while it was still warm and bleeding.
At least it wasn’t a deer and you aren’t in Baltimore.

Obviously the work of a union weenie. Painting a line on the road is in his job description, removing road kill is not.

A great driving tune with full base & volume ON!

A reminder that NDP voters are still out there.

I remember some idiot about 20 or so years ago was spraying the lines on Highway 16 by Stony Plain in the rain.

yah, and it should stick, that paint is the devil to get off cars. Done it many times:-)

Hey don’t be gettin’ peckish, thet’s some good eatin’ there, Mable get the shovel and a little paint thinner.

Not even close to the all time winner. How about literally paving over half of a deer?

From the article:
“PennDOT workers are organized under the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The department must follow a strict set of union guidelines before disciplinary action is taken.”

I recall a number of years back a line panting crew from Alberta Transportation painted over an expired skunk. The local newspaper printined a large photo. The ministers office from Alberta Transportation was not amused. He commandeered on of the government aircraft, flew up to unnamed NE Alberta town and gave the management a severe dressing down saying heads will roll if something like this were ever to happen again.

True. Kind of orange, eh?
That’s what you get when you mix Liberal yellow with Commie red. 😉

I love the name of this blog. I always think of Politicians for some reason.

A retired school teacher is into a failing marriage. He and his wife are constantly bickering, thus she suggests that he goes to work on a road crew near Moose Jaw, in order to give her some breathing space. He gets a job as a flagman.
Teach is flagging traffic one day when a young college student operating a large road roller comes up from behind, fails to see the flagman and drives over him. The teacher is flattened like a pancake. The Mounties are called in, check the scene out, they see no foul play, so they suggest to the foreman of the road crew that they take the flattened body back to his home in Moose Jaw.
They load the flattened body in the back of a pickup and head for the Jaw.
When the foreman gets to the door, he rings the doorbell. The wife, yells out, ”Sorry, I can’t come to the door, I’m in the bathtub.”
”But you must come to the the door” says the foreman. ”Something terrible has just happened. Your husband has been run over by a road roller.”
”Oh, in that case, no problem. Just slip him under the door.”
