I used to believe that the road sign for slippery roads (the back of a car with squiggly lines behind it, on a yellow background) actually meant, "beware of busses on tall squiggly legs." I could picture these towering busses on wobbly legs attempting to step over traffic. I still have to tell myself that that isn't what they've depicted.
