One time, four college students went to Lake Tahoe for a day of skiing. It was great, with more powder falling all day. Then, when they headed home, they were in a long line of cars getting turned away from the freeway entrance, where a cop was telling everyone that there was 10" (25 cm) of snow on the highway and it was closed until a plow could get through. The kid behind the driver protested "But he's from Canada," indicating the driver.
"Is that true?" asked the Cop.
"Oui m'sieur!"
"Oh, OK!"
And they made it.

That sign also reminds me of one of the early US Park Service ones. When the parks were created, the few residents were offered jobs as rangers if they wanted to stay. One of these rustics got out his paint brush and posted: "Warning. The varmints in these woods is not tame. Stay in your car, or your remains will not be returned to your next of kin."

13 Authors Whose Deaths Were Stranger Than Fiction

Example:

"While on a cruise to South America with his fourth wife, Eleanor, American novelist and short story writer Sherwood Anderson started experiencing painful stomach cramps. They disembarked in Panama and went to the hospital, where Anderson died a few days later on March 8, 1941. An autopsy revealed the culprit to be a 3-inch-long wooden toothpick in an olive that the author had swallowed while enjoying a martini. The small toothpick pierced his intestine and led to peritonitis, an infection of the inner lining of the abdomen."


There are 12 more, including Margaret Wise Brown, Edgar Allan Poe, Tennessee Williams.

That's one tough olive.
 
@Outdated, I was watching Outback Car Hunters last night. Two guys were driving through the outback, the camera panned over a desolate landscape and a voiceover said "Western Australia, over 1 million square kilometers of scorched land". And I was thinking worst tourism ad ever. 😆
