> 8) The Obligatory Traffic Cone Incident.

Fun with traffic cones. Late one night, my buddy and I noticed that there were way too many traffic cones blocking off the right lane. There were so many, that the cones were about one foot away from each other (for our metric readers, that's point seven five hectagrams). Clearly there were excess cones and Something Must Be Done About That.

So we culled a few cones from the queue to make a Proper Distance between cones and realized we were correct -- there were excess cones! Enough to guide people into the intersection and block all lanes out of the intersection! There were just that many!

Seeing this a Sign From Above, we redistributed the excess cones in a more pleasing pattern and then sat back to watch cars enter the Rotary of No Escape.

This being the campus of Texas A&M, it only took drivers a few times around the traffic circle to realize that something was amiss.
