you can lie about wheel numbers


Jon saw this in New Orleans. Apparently you can lie about the number of wheels you have, or just take it on there anyway. Whatever.

So wouldn't that mean they want 18- wheels?

It seems as if the people/person who made this sign thinks that quotation marks are used for emphasis...either they're not a native English speaker, or they're just really stupid.

I love how there are two different styles of quotation marks on this sign. What do they think the difference is??

Or you can interpret it as:

Soft shoulders NO! 18 Wheelers please!

Which would mean they were protesting against soft shoulders and inviting the 18-wheelers there.

Maybe it's referring to NO, as in "New Orleans".
So it's like "New Orleans" (or surrounding area) "18" (or maybe 16, if you prefer) wheelers, please. They're trying to get them to come there, I say!
