OMG! You showed him. It a good thing trucks don't have windshield wipers or he never would have gotten the meassage. I bet Chuck Norris will read this and try it in his next movie.
Speed-trap Sign Saves Drivers - For About 15 Minutes

A few motorists may have Fred Zahn to thank for the extra money in their pockets today.
Zahn, owner of Renu Auto Body in Madison, noticed a police speed trap on Fish Hatchery Road on Tuesday and decided he didn't much like the concept.
So he wrote "Speed Trap Ahead" on a large piece of cardboard and positioned himself on a nearby sidewalk.
Within 15 minutes, Madison police officers booted him. "They told me it was city property and that I couldn't hold that sign there."
Zahn, who said he's never been caught by a speed trap, doesn't understand why officers didn't welcome his help. "You should have seen how people slowed down when they saw my sign," he said. "(The police) say they're out to slow people down, but you can't tell me it's not about the money."
Madison Police Capt. Cameron McLay said that while officers respect free speech rights, Zahn was interfering with a law enforcement operation and could be charged with obstructing an officer. However, McLay said the department would not be in a hurry to do that.
"We try to keep a sense of humor about these things," he said. "The joke internally was perhaps we should purchase 10 to 12 of these signs and post them around the city."
McLay acknowledged Zahn was slowing down motorists, but he said the goal is to alter people's driving behavior long-term, something a ticket does better.

You obviously have never driven on the highway in hard rain. If you're behind someone you can't see ****** even with the wipers on full blast. There's water flying everywhere. It's really annoying.

If you knew what I did for a living, you'd go kill yourself right now.
