When I was young I remember going for long drives with my friends (my family didn't have a car). Whenever the driver stopped to pay a toll, I assumed that meant we were on a special road and because we paid, we'd get some sort of special treat. What a let down - no special treat ever appeared, no matter the size of the toll!
