When I lived in Maryland, there was a stretch of highway that, for years, had signs up that read, "Pardon our progress." In all that time, there was never a change in the bull-dozed sides of the highway, no lanes added or removed. Never a visible sign of any progress. Since there was a number on the sign, I decided to call it one day and inquired about the progress I was asked to pardon. I got the sort of noncommittal response I expected, but it was still fun.
Down south it frequent and they mean it , like Alabama
Considering that there are always more standing around talking and socializing than there are actually working, it seems to be having an impact at least. LOL

It’s here, an accidental double post: It seems like I saw this sign for 30 years when I was driving to work.
