Sorry State of PA is closed

A prankster put up this sign up at the NJ/Pa border. Penn Dot quickly removed

it. Saw it on our news tonight.

Oh that beautiful Pennsylvania state sign. It makes me sad.

I've passed it many times in my life

with so many wonderful memories.

I feel so badly for what that state and all of us are going through.

When I saw this title reminded me of Clark and Roy Wally from National Lampoon's Vacation:

or this one from the movie about "Wally World"

@on the bay : I love it!

I live less than 5 miles from the PA border- different county.

My church is in PA. Yeah, it's closed. Not sure anyone is trying to get into PA. They closed the state stores that sell wine & booze a while ago. They are all coming here to buy!

@threecees Exactly. I know for me...I'll never look at toilet paper the same way again as long as I live!

it would be great if every state had those signs for just a couple of weeks; it might force many to stay home and inside and put the brakes on this virus

Yup. People in Pa are very angry by all the NY and NJ people that have left their states and come over here. Residents were told to stay in our homes and then they travel here. Our little hospitals are overloaded with out of staters and there is a built up resentment as we have become one of the countries hot sports.
we even had rental agencies saying "come to Pa and leave the epicenter". That's just not right.

Yes @meem120 one of the first cases in our county was an out of

state trucker. We have now hit over 100 cases as of today. Luckily no

deaths.

Many years ago, think the late 1950's.....the show Candid Camera did a prank similar. They put up a barrier and told the drivers that the State of Delaware was closed. Reason? Too many people. They told the drivers to come back tomorrow. Everyone believed them. In those days, you accepted authority without question.

@threecees I wonder why they took it down, it seems quite fitting IMO.

@Imaoldhippie Glad I could bring a smile to someone! It does make me miss John Candy. He was such a wonderful comedian!

Stay safe everyone!
