Remember the $500 hammers Taxpayers bought? This is the $250,000 speed bump!

If you understood some of the regulations the government levies sometimes, you would understand the $500.00 hammers.

Yea like that is gonna happen for me after 25 years of "government re-education"? Fortunately they are as successful at that as public schooling is at educating kids.

That bump looked like it was straight from hell, I'm glad to see that crap flattened. Now I'd just like to see more in my area disappear.

In fact one of the Hooters here in Tucson literally has 4 huge ones forming a square. Yeah, a freaking square of huge *** speed bumps in front of the place from hell!!! WTF???
