Cass: Silly New Englanders complaining... Drive, what, ten minutes and you're in a new one! It's freakish. My city is bigger than most of your states. Such cute wee states.

From Colombia, another great way at controlling the bad behavior of the populace:

Another innovative idea was to use mimes to improve both traffic and citizens' behavior. Initially 20 professional mimes shadowed pedestrians who didn't follow crossing rules: A pedestrian running across the road would be tracked by a mime who mocked his every move. Mimes also poked fun at reckless drivers. The program was so popular that another 400 people were trained as mimes.

Theodosia: I wonder what the life expectancy is for Colombian mimes.
