Beleaguered sign makers will tell you, sometimes it’s damnably difficult to make signs make sense to motorists who speed by faster than they should — and sometimes, the story is just too difficult for pictures.
Take this one, posted on Twitter by @Weasel3071:
@Weasel3071 asked reasonably, “What is happening here?”
What do you think, Dear Reader?
Responses cover a lot of territory, and of course the flying cows of “Tornado” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” got mentions.
One response appears to come from an actual sign maker, who expresses sign maker frustration.
Other responses hint that some people may be modifying actual cow warning signs, in New Mexico or Nevada.
Not just once, but twice — so you know it must be true.

What say you, dear reader? Falling cows? Snake eating a cow?
And, shouldn’t it be “.1 mile” instead of “miles?”
Tip of the old scrub brush to @Weasel3071.
