Whenever I would be travelling with my parents, I would always see this road sign, "100 Maximum"...I used to think this place called Maximum must have been a really neat place since no matter where we were, it was only 100 kilometers away! :)
A childhood belief about road signs

others believed things like this
- I heard the song about Heaven being a place where nothing ever happened and thought, "What a boring place."Anon
- I used to think there was a place called Caucasia and everyone from there was Caucasian.— Lucy
