I can't sleep.

I forgot my highway safety cones at home.

Con ED (NYC) at work! Official motto is "Dig We Must" usually seen on a site where one man is using a jackhammer with four standing around.

In fact, the cones were placed there later on by fellow officers seeing that one of their own might be in danger.

Says the head cone: "Earthling, we have been observing you. We have you surrounded! Take me to your leader!". (Spoken in Conish, of course. This is pre-Bablefish!)

Taking a cue from Google and Nike, the road maintenance department discovered a "nap room" is not such a good idea on site.

Traffic would not honor the cones so the boss decided to see if this would help?

A cop made me stop.

It was a flop, 'cause……………...........................................

My 9mm made a pop

The cop did drop

On the blacktop.

They used a cone

Instead of a stone

To mark the spot

Where he bought his plot.

Amen.

Since when did this highway turn into a 6 cone rest area, it was always a 2 cone rest area.

Said the bell hop to the station wagon full of haggard out-of-towners,

''You are verrry late for this years' World Famous Prune Racing Convention,

and these are the only accommodations left....

We here, at the Booneyville Arms, are charging $19.95 for a single, and

$24.95 for a double...''
