Chicago suburb shakes up stop signs

Quote the Yahoo! article:

The new signs are red octagons, just like the real stop signs, but instead of just “Stop” they say “Stop … right there pilgrim” and “Stop … in the naame of love.” Naame? Think of the drawn-out pronunciation in the hit by the Supremes.

It might be too soon to know whether the alternative signs will work. But while the mayor was posing for a photo with one of the new signs, a driver sped by without stopping.

I thought that end sentence was pretty funny. I’m not sure I have an incredibly deep question to draw from this, but it made me laugh. It’s worth trying, at least?
