Hal81 Loc: Bucks County, Pa.
 
Three young braves came of age and they all ask the chief for the hand of his daughter Princes Rain bow. They were Rain in the face. He got his name from going out in the rain looking up to see where is was coming from. And there was Babbling Brook, he used to stick his head in the water to see where the noise was coming from. And then there was Falling Rock. He loved to climb on the rocks but kept falling off. The chief sent them all out to hunt and gather. Whoever came back with the biggest bounty could have his daughter as their wife. He gave them a week. Just as the week was up. Rain in the Face came into camp with his arms full of fruit. He was followed by Babbling with arms filled with fish and dragging a small deer. As the sun set Falling rock was nowhere to be found. After weeks went by they sent out groups in all directions but they never did find Falling rock. Even till this day if you drive through the mountains you will see signs, Look out for Falling Rock. And thats the truth.

Here in Connecticut it is illegal to die on the roads. Plenty of signs for reminders...

I always wondered about those "Deer Crossing" signs. I didn't know deer could read.

There are no “new” jokes. They’re all variations of the original caveman drawings😊

Personally I like all the “End Construction” protest signs.

Years ago when my Granddaughters were still gullible enough I would tell them a similar story. That was about two teen Indian lovers whose parents disapproved of their romance, the girl 'Running Deer' and the boy 'Falling Rock'. They ran away never to be seen again, thus the road signs. They still remember the story now thirty years on.
