The Fork In The Road Was Taken of the Day

Here's a little story about municipal government at its finest:

A 6-foot-tall fork appeared at an intersection in Carlsbad, CA, on Tuesday. A city crew removed it Wednesday -- apparently the sculpture is a code violation they can't take a joke.

Then a resident erected a sign in its place that said "Why the fork not?" The city removed the sign, as well.

Locals, naturally, were pissed -- so they began taping real forks to a nearby sign in protest.
