roadside humor

The main north-south highway in New Zealand is highway 1, which goes right through Dunedin (and which I ride my bike on to get to the university). If you go south from Dunedin on highway 1 for an hour and a half, you'll come to the town of Clinton. A half hour further is the town of Gore. Sometime in the 1990s, that stretch of highway got christened the "Presidential Highway," complete with signs at both Clinton and Gore announcing the name.
