trying to impress? - 08:45 AM
(filed under 'general')
i just went through some road works near rudi & audrey's place on the way to & from dropping smiley off there.
they've got half the road blocked off & instead of letting one side through at a time, they're keeping the traffic going one way & sending the other traffic on a detour. i'd already seen it on the way to their house anyway & had used the detour.
on the way back through, going the other direction, the traffic control guy stopped me to ask if i was going to be coming back through that way again today. he then continued to tell me, <affect deep man-trying-to-impress voice here> 'we're keepin' the traffic mono-directional today.'
mono-directional?? what?! he couldn't have just said, 'we're keeping the traffic going one way today.'? i'm sure that mono-directional is a perfectly acceptable word, but still. talk about trying to sound impressive. sheesh. lol!
