Humorous/Random Post

Now for a random and humorous/satirical post, because this is supposed to be a random blog. Lately I’ve been thinking about toll booths, namely how do the toll collectors get into them. It all started when I drove through a toll booth and thought to myself ‘How do these guys eat or go to the bathroom?’ I mean, if you’re in a 10’ x 5’ box all day on the Mass Turnpike it’s not like you can walk out the door, cross the pike, and get a bite to eat. So then I (when I had too much free time) began to do some thinking, and here is my toll booth theory. I think that there must be some sort of hatch or door in the floor of the booth, that way the toll collectors can get in and outside. In the hatch is a ladder to an underground tunnel, that way they can get in and out of the booth. This tunnel is connected to a building which is the main office building complete with a parking lot for the collectors. In addition, inside the tunnel I feel that there must some sort of venue for the toll collectors, complete with restaurants and restrooms for them to go to on their breaks. In addition, there are probably many stores and markets for the toll collectors to shop in to run some errands while they’re down there. So, for all we know, there could be an underground world for the toll booth people that we don’t even realize exists. There could be movie theaters, hotels, and chain restaurants. This is all theory of course, I plan to do some research and even establish myself in the world of the toll booth people. I will learn their ways and enter their society and hopefully find the truth. In addition, I do not write much satire so I hope this proves its purpose of humor and no one thinks I’ve lost it. I hope everyone gets a laugh out of it.
