} While the alternative interpretations you propose reveal a wisdom
} significantly beyond your years, assuming, of course, that you are not
} quite as infinitely old as the Oracle, you did fail, the Oracle is
} almost sorry to say, in making the correct deduction. The sign
} indicates that, for the next mile, the road is shaped exactly like your
} interrogative sign. There is absolutely nothing dubious about the
} matter.
}
} There is a second meaning that this sign sometimes has: the
} Transportation Department of New York has had considerable difficulty
} in adequately describing the conditions of the road for the next mile
} and invites taggers to write their graffitiform descriptions on the
} sign, preferably in blinking, neon lights of highly saturated colors.
}
} A third meaning that the sign often has is that reminds drivers that,
} for the next mile, passengers and drivers are permitted legally by the
} state to ask one another questions. This does not necessarily mean
} that the prohibition against asking questions elsewhere on the road has
} already been legislated against. One question frequently asked is,
} "Where the hell are we?" Another is, "Why isn't this section of the
} road shaped like a question mark?"
