Is this some sick twisted attempt at humour?

Ok, every morning there is a traffic jam on this road

Normally not severe, but for these few miles 20mph really is the max speed. If you're lucky. You will NEVER go faster than 30mph.

Let me repeat that NEVER faster than 30mph. It is like this for 2 hours.

The speed limit is 40mph.


SOOOOOO nice little policeman with his speed camera - what are you DOING?

Is this some kind of sick joke? Do you come here to taunt us with the promise of speed even though we all KNOW it is impossible?

Do you relish in our mounting frustration just coming to a head at the sight of that camera?

Are you righteously perpared to catch the motorist with the world's first flying car?

Has some mad bureaucrat who is flown everywhere in his private jet and never seen a traffic jam force this upon you? And if so, why have you not killed him?

Is there some other reason you are UTTERLY wasting your time on this?

Or do you need some quality haddock time?

He probably fracked up big time with something someone considered important and this is his punishment. Busywork with no hope of getting anything actually accomplished plus the public humiliation factor and that his peers know about his assignment. Like that guy pushing the boulder up the hill throughout eternity.

Awww, but that would mean giving him the benefit of the doubt.... And then I'd have to pity him. Can't he just be evil so i can hate him?

Of course he's evil... but minions are always getting punished for one thing or another and we don't pity them. Do we?

I'm truly awful about giving people the benefit of the doubt, I'm much too empathetic for my own good. Notice that the word looks like it is made up of empathy+pathetic. Even though it is probably a combination of empathy and sympathetic.

This is true. The job of a good minion is to be disposable
