Trivia

Q. Did you ever find out why those rips in the pavement are called “potholes”?

A. Early England’s roads were dirt over clay. Wheels gouged ruts. Pottery makers, needing cheap clay for their pots, dug it in certain spots where the ruts were deep.

Teamsters called those spots potholes.

Speed of thought, it’s claimed, is about 150 mph. Few are caught speeding.
