I'm reminded of the time ('70s) when the Governor of Georgia caused his
picture to be taken and published across the land, standing in front of a
billboard at the state line which said "Welcome to Georgia. Don't get
fleeced in a clip joint.  Don't get caught in a speed trap."  I believe the
Georgia version of the speed trap was a 25 mph sign around a blind curve on
a highway, with a policeman standing about five feet past the sign.
