Perplexing

The other day, I found myself violating the rules and following this truck, equipped with a sign reading "DO NOT FOLLOW THIS VEHICLE."

Obviously, I'd been warned and was still following the truck.  Yes, I know the sign is actually meant to instruct me not to follow too closely.  But every time I see one of these signs on the back of a thunderous truck, I picture myself like a newly imprinted goose, just following the truck everywhere, until eventually I head right over the side of a cliff.

Clearly, I avoided that fate.  This time.
