Hey I think that guy needs a 7OE

My wife and I were driving somewhere, I cant really remember the destination, but as we were taking the ramp to get on to the highway I noticed a guy on standing on the side of the road. Big deal you say, there are guys on the side of the road all the time, but I felt sorry for this one. He was holding a sign that I swear read “Toe”.  Thinking he must be a little slow or something I pointed him out to my wife.

“Hey! That guy needs a tow!”

I will never live that moment down. First let me say that I didn’t process that he spelt the sign wrong. Or that he wasn’t near a car that needed to be towed. And that people normally don’t sit on the side of the road asking for a tow.

My wife immediately started laughing at me and started to call her friends. Still clueless I kept asking her, “What!” I really didn’t get it yet. She couldn’t speak a complete sentence, and when her friend answered the phone she had to wait a few seconds before she could tell the story.

Long story short, the guy didn’t have a TOE sign, it said 70 E. You know, the big interstate 70! I think they even renamed part of it Mark Maguire Highway.  Interstate 70 runs from Interstate 15 in Utah all the way to Baltimore, Maryland!

Now all of my wife’s friends know about the I-70 mishap, and whenever someone does something stupid they hold up a sign “7OE”.
