It's "kick-the-Johnny-Rebs'-traitor-derrieres," is what it is.  USA!  USA!

On the forum I found this (SB or SV, I forget which) the first response to the pics was  (roughly) "the kind that won the war."

Heh.  

For anyone else who didn't know, #2.   

Reveal the spoiler for why, if you haven't already figured it out (or known it).

Spoiler

#1 has a yield sign, which means he needs to wait for #3 (although in the absence of a yield sign, he would still have to wait for #3, as that's the default -- you yield right of way to the vehicle to your right) and #2 (the yield sign is for all directions of traffic at this intersection).  Assuming the illustration is to scale, #3 needs to wait for #2 to clear the intersection before turning.  I could get into a bit more detail with more implied default behaviors at unmarked or insufficiently marked intersections, but I've spoiled the joke enough already.  Also, this analysis is valid in New Jersey; your local traffic laws may vary.  But that yield sign means #1 will always go last.

Actually, I can do you one better that's even simpler in this particular case: left turning traffic does not have the right of way except where granted by a protected left-turn traffic signal.  Boo-yah.

Well, yeah, that too. <grin>

But I always tend to overthink these things.

Speaking as a claustrophobe, and one who once had to spend time in an MRI with a hatch that the technicians closed while I was inside, that MRI cartoon is nightmare fuel.  Visions of a power outage that meant they couldn't get the hatch open; visions of a disaster that killed everyone who knew I was inside the machine....  I thought a lot about both those possibilities during the approximately half hour I had to be in there.

I'd prefer the General Sherman.....

Nothing better for a nice drive to the seaside....

Diagramming the expected decay sequence of Brexit?

[robkelk]

It's a decay sequence, but not for Brexit. And it if happens but doesn't happen politely, the English can go back to singing God Save the King instead of just playing it.

[Dartz]

Dun dun dun.....

I strongly suspect what we have here is somebody following the exact instructions given to them.

This is why real documenters get paid the big bucks - to make sure documentation includes all the steps.
