Yeah, take me for instance.  Inspired by a friend of mine and I driving
somewhere we hadn't been in a year, she could have sworn that a highway
intersection we were coming up on was a 4-way stop rather than a 2-way.  My
reply was "Well, that's what teenage kids are for."  Of course, this spawns
an  idea in my head fof a mechanical arm that would extend from the open
side door of a van and pluck a road sign from the ground.  This is the same
friend whose in-game Deadlands actions inspired me to think of sidecars for
horses.
