Is this supposed to be a government road crew?   You forget to add eight 
additional people standing around picking their noses.  And where's the 
sleazy broad holding the "slow/stop" sign?  ;-)

haha, where are you from, NJ?
I used to live there.
Down here in VA, our government road work crews actualy WORK!
I was shocked when i found out!

The image looks best in white on black. That way you can put yellow
stripes on the road.

You can view it on my website at www.ashermaximum.com

I lived in CA where road crews really work, especially after
Earthquakes and floodding.  Now I live in VA where the people won't
even vote for a meassure to do road work because they are so confidant
that V-DOT will mess it up or take too long.  People here in the
Norfolk area have a very different experiance from yours about VA road
crews.

       Looks to me as if the guy is using a pogo-stick, not a Paddy's 
motorbike. (Pneumatic hammer in International). Obligatory cigarette 
too. British (European?) usage is that advisory road signs are 
triangular, compelling roadsigns are round. So a "caution" should be 
triangular, but a "Stop", "No Entry" or speed limit ought to be round - 
why we took up the octagon for "Stop HERE!", I don't know.

When you're digging a hole you need 3 people per shovel. It's fucking
hard work.

[.. snipped ascii monkeys that were un-signed ..] :(

... Please replace the ascii you have, with the proper one from
Joan, that is signed.  Signatures are to remain with art work.
