World's Shortest Bicycle Lane.

Council condemned over 'Britain's shortest cycle lane'
A council has been condemned for wasting taxpayers’ money after it built a cycle lane just 8ft long.

Building a bicycle lane that is 8 feet long is the governments way of sending a clear message that all slaves citizens can understand.

- We are the government, and we will waste your money on any frivolous project we want to.

- There is no project so stupid that it will not get government approval.

- There is no shortage of funds for government boondoggles. That is what the slaves citizen taxpayers are for.

- There is no project the government will work on that will benefit the slaves citizens in any way, shape or form.

- There is no project so small that the government can't overspend to complete it.

- There is no project so small that can't be used to bribe special interest groups.

Proof positive that in order to work for the government and green light expensive, wasteful spending projects like this that have absolutely no useful function other that to waste money and bring ridicule down on government workers, you must be brain dead. No offense intended to zombies and others incapable of displaying brain activity.

    I'm reminded of a street in Pacoima that doesn't quite cross the sidewalk before it ends (having a total length of perhaps 3 feet).

    It is graced with a sign that reads,

    "NOT A THROUGH STREET".

    Ya think??
