My favorite American road sign (found along interstate 95 in Maine):
I can hear Boris & Natasha reading the sign out loud on an episode of Rocky the Flying Squirrel.

Yes travel through the State of Missouri sometime and see how bad the roads are (I-70 in particular) --now in Oklahoma they are good.

The roads are great in North America and the turn right on red thing is a real boon for traffic flow.
Yes, the immigration form is dumb beyond belief: "was I a member of Nazi germany?" hmmn, tricky. "am I coming to the USA to plan or carry out acts of terorism?" ooh, tough one. LOL
Maybe it's not to do with security ... if you tick the "I'm a terrorist box" they may just pass your details onto the car hire people so they know not to give you any keys !
BTW: We cheated ... I have a cheap eTrex GPS unit and some routing software for my old iPaq so we got directions for wherever we wanted to go, to Walmart, nearest Hotel or Steve and Joys front door

Simon, Eman, I'm glad you all enjoyed your trip to my home state. I'm on the opposite side of the country now, but will always remember growing up there and personally, miss the old Florida when it was sort of a sleepy southern state.
My favorite question we 'mericans get asked at airports is, "has someone placed anything in your luggage without your knowing?" Unfortunately, the smart alecked answer I'd like to give to that would likely result in a strip and cavity search, missing my flight too.

You ate grits and still like America? That's amazing. I've never tasted anything as vile in my life.
We went to Mexico once and was asked on the way back where we were born. My mom thought she'd be funny so when she said San Francisco she did it in her best hispanic accent. That wasn't funny after all.

A bit like porridge actually. We normally put syrup on it, although the Scots prefer just salt.
BTW, there's a scripture under the lion.

In our neverending quest to locate Bin Laden and Saddem American troops have been force feeding captured enemy suspects grits. My understanding is the Iraqis are cracking like knuckles under the cruel torture.
There would be no breaking you E-man. Your nations secrets are safe with you.
