Richard's Poor Almanac by Richard Thompson for May 16, 2017
Transcript:
potholes like the eskimos who supposedly have dozens of words to describe types of snow, drivers have developed a vocabulary for pothole varieties. here are a few. a "rimshot" is your common basic tire-chewing, wheel-misaligning pothole. somewhat worse is a "scrapmaker," which often causes spontaneous automotive disassemblage. dude: well, blow the horn. the "pit of carkoon" type is home to a tentaacled monster cap-able of devouring everything up to a ford bronco. in a "k street kanyon," erosion has revealed past geological ages down to the pre-cambrian, attracting paleontologists & tour groups.
I’ve seen them all and experienced not a few. I live in Chicagoland, where potholes are numbered in the tens of thousands!
