What Is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 144: Reader Edition

This scene is not right for at least two reasons.

While Chris Luth — who is a reader of The Gate — was sitting as a passenger in a motor vehicle in Clark County in Nevada somewhere northwest of the city of Las Vegas, a conversation was prompted by what was seen at a busy intersection and caused him to take the following photograph.

  1. This may be like some streets in Phoenix where a left turn is prohibited. Instead, one is forced to go past the intersection then make a u-turn (or is it a right turn?).

    Another possibility is that the sign wants to drive home that you are either in North Korea or the United States. In North Korea, you can never leave. In the US, it’s like the Hotel California where you have to pay the equivalent of estate tax to give up your citizenship. In other words, you can’t leave with all your money. In contrast, in the UK, you can leave the country and don’t have to pay income tax because the government won’t rescue you if you are taken by international terrorists as hostage. With the US, the federal government might rescue you or they might not.

  2. It’s like the Billy Currington “Good Directions” song lyrics met the big city 🙂

    “I told her; “Way up yonder past the caution light
    There’s a little country store with an old Coke sign
    You got to stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
    Then a left will take you to the Interstate
    But a right will bring you right back here to me”
