The road sign “Survey Crew Ahead” confuses many people. A crew is surveying the road.

Today I saw a road sign that said “SURVEY CREW AHEAD”. I wanted to see guys with clipboards shouting “What kind of detergent do you use?”

As we drove, a road sign warned “Survey Crew Ahead.”
“Great,” my wife whined. “Now what are they going to ask us?”

Road sign said “Survey Crew Ahead” but when I reached them they didn’t ask me a thing except to move along since I waited for an hour.

I may be losing my mind. I was driving and I saw a sign that said screwy curve ahead and I thought that’s a weird sign and then I looked again what it actually said was survey crew ahead. Gosh I’m tired.
