A chain reaction that would cause half the bottles to fall each time
so:

49,999,992 Green bottles hanging on the wall
49,999,992 Green bottles hanging on the wall
and if half of those bottles should happen to fall
there'd be...

etc.

I've never actually been down there, but there are two other places in NJ where
there are some ridiculous road signs. On this one street in North Caldwell, 
there's a sign that says "VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS ONLY". Well, no shit 
Sherlock! I thought until I figured they were trying to keep someone from 
horseback riding there. Also, on the south bound Garden State Parkway, right
before the Raritan river bridge, there's a sign that stretches across the 
whole roadway, with arrows pointing to all five lanes, and saying simply 
"THRU TRAFFIC". This one I haven't figured out. They usually put these signs
right around exits to guide the traffic, but this one is at least a half mile
past the nearest exit. Anyone going past it already knows they're going over
the bridge and into the tollbooth, so that sign's necessity eludes me, unless
the NJ Highway Authority needed to give someone some sweetheart business.

And if one of those bottles should happen to fall
there'd be aleph_null bottles hanging on the wall.




(For the ignorant : Aleph_null is in some sense the smallest infinite number
it's the number of natural numbers 1,2,3,.....  (Yes it is true!!))

I always thought that signs that say "In Case of Fire
Do Not Use Lift" really meant "Do not use the lift, because
if you do use the lift a fire might break out".

Then there's the one showing a picture of a big, dumb,
ugly guy in a washroom.  On the wall above the place where
the paper towel dispenser was, there is a sign that reads
"To dry hands, pull down, and tear up".  On the floor are
the broken, twisted, torn remains of the paper towel dispenser.

(Paper towel dispensers are easier to use than the hot-air
hand dryers.  I find it dreadfully hard to roll close to
the outlet while I've got my hands cupped together).

My favorite is a place (city?) in Cambodia (or Thailand) whose name is
Phuket and is pronounced just like you think.  I'm waiting for a TV
announcer to have to mention the place.

Are there still active White Towers anywhere?  I had read nearly a decade ago
that only three were left - all in Baltimore - and that one was actually a
fast-food museum (!) of sorts.  (The last White Tower I saw in person was in
Schenectady, NY, circa 1974.)

Also, does anyone remember Carroll's hamburgers?  The chain was popular in
the Northeast (before McDonalds had expanded into the region), but disappeared
around 1970 or so; I'm told that the parent company is now one of the largest
Burger King franchisees.
