THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
OK, so my family on rare occasion makes a fairly long trip to an Asian grocery store in Madison Heights, so that we can get all sorts of weird stuff that we like, and can't get in the podunk town that we live in.

On the way there, on the left side, I saw an awkward billboard combination within I'm guessing ~100' of each other;

The first had a picture of an angry looking cop, and said something like "drive sober, or get pulled over".

The next billboard was an ad for Miller beer...

I pointed it out after we passed by, (nobody else seemed to have noticed until I mentioned it) and my older brother in the back seat laughed his ass off, and made the joke/pun "I'll drink to that!"

Poor foresight on the part of whoever does the signs?

I thought it was more funny that you were going south on I-94

I realize I-94 isn't N-S vertical, but diagonal NE-SW, (unless the maps I've seen lie?) but do we have to get bent out of shape about terminology? ETA: I'll admit that I've never payed much attention to I-94 beyond Detroit or Ann Arbor, and I just spent a couple minutes looking at Google maps, and realized I-94 changes direction multiple times, and the diagonal part that that I'm familiar with is only a very small section of it...

Also, I wasn't the one driving, and we did sort of lose our way, and spent an hour or so zigzag-ing a bunch of surface roads until we found our way, and likewise on the trip back. My mom doesn't drive around that area very much, and only brought some partial, half-assed directions written on a 3x5 card...
