"Government Solution"

During a terrible snowstorm, all the highway signs were
covered with snow.  The following spring, the state
decided to raise all the signs 12 inches at a cost of 6
million dolars.

"That's an outrageous price!" said a local farmer, "but I
guess we're lucky the state handled it instead of the
federal government."

"Why's that?"

"Because knowing the federal government, they would have
decided to lower all the highways to solve the problem."
