Department of Transportation Tries to Bump Me Off!

I’m enjoying the drive in my motorhome today when a huge pothole appears out of nowhere like a grade “B” science fiction movie and “slam - bam” my tires drop in jarring my dog’s eyes around like a cartoon. That can’t be good for my tires or my alignment. My dog just wandered back to get a drink. My wife woke up and gave me one of those looks like, “We in heaven yet?” Bumps in the road are just part of RVing, but what’s the deal with the “Bump” signs? The bright orange signs that simply say, “Bump.” Now, I’m all for warning people that they are about to drive off a miniature cliff, but half the time we drive by these signs at 65 mph on the interstate and you’re already over the bump by the time you read the sign. Most of the time I don’t even feel the “Bump” they advertise. How about putting those signs about 1/2 mile in front of that pothole? Hey, now there’s an idea DOT people! The sign could read, “Meteor Crater Ahead, Small Cars Not Advised.” While I’m on the subject, how come toll roads have more potholes than non-toll roads? Aren’t they supposed to use all that toll money for repairs? Apparently not! Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing and Road Scholar.
