Oh and I live on an island with absolutely NO traffic lights. Excactly. 1 island, 10 000 people, 0 TRAFFIC LIGHTS. But believe me, just ONE LITTLE reason for living in New York rather than here is that your imagination gets waaayy more work...and that means happy readers.

I feel that all too often, we don't realize the hidden pain and suffering many of these traffic lights have had in their private lives and we therefore have little to no empathy for their plight. Perhaps we can begin collecting for weekly group therapy. Oh, wait. We'd have to go to <i>them</i>. Forget it.<br /><br />Slamdunk: Aw...but it makes me so HAPPY when you laugh!
