This explains a lot! We were driving around recently, and commenting on the absurd number of orange barrels blocking off various roads and lanes around the Twin Cities, often without any apparent reason.
Ages ago, all the activity in the water exercise class came to a screeching halt when one of the ladies in the class came up missing an earring. We broke out the swim masks and scanned the bottom of the pool: No luck. Eventually, I realized that the ladders were built into the sides of the pool rather than hanging over them as at a typical pool. I crawled down one ladder to the bottom of the diving area. Fortunately, I picked the ladder where her earring had fallen. Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t know the trick of holding your nose and blowing against it to equalize the pressure in your ears; so the trip hurt like crazy. When I came up with the bauble, and she confirmed it was the missing earring, I said, “Do me a favor: Leave your jewelry in the locker room next time.”

Mr. McPherson, may I inquire as to the Gender of said “Road Worker”? (Cough!)

Is this New Jersey? Was it a friend of the governor?

If it was an earlobe gauge ring, it could be the size of a traffic cone.

Yesterday, the right lane was closed 5 hours when he lost his nose ring!

And there’s probably 5 road workers standing around watching him look for it.

I like the system in BC: all merges alternate or you get a ticket. What backs up freeway traffic for three miles here slows traffic to 30 mph there.
