I recently walked out of the mens room at an Ohio Turnpike rest stop. There was a flat screen TV pointed at me showing ads and local weather conditions.

Suddenly it went to the Blue Screen of Death. As I stood there a cursor appeared and started moving around the screen. It rebooted and we saw the signature Microsoft logo and the reboot chime.

Then the logo for Windows XP popped-up. Along with a half-dozen nasty looking warnings that “This Operating System is No Longer Supported” and “Your Computer is At Risk!”

The cursor blithely clicked out of all of them and the weather forecast returned.

Obviously the Ohio Turnpike Commission is still running XP.

I was in an elevator in a hotel in Vegas and saw (about) the same thing, except it was a Windows 7 box that would load to the desktop and then crash and restart.

I once heard a Muzak version of “Marrakech Express” while dining at an Ohio Turnpike eatery.

Weird stuff on that stretch o’ road.
