OT: Anybody old enough to remember Mad Magazine? (trans-partisan humour)

Anyway, there was some big whoopla a century or so ago about the "Golden Spike" that completed the first transcontinental railroad, and about a half century ago Mad magazine did this gag that has just been independently rediscovered:

Anybody remember the original, or who the artist was? Mort Drucker?

There was an interstate in AZ or New Mexico that met like that in the

70's. Can't remember exactly where.

So it was AZ. I remember when we were out there with the trailer visiting every piece of wood that turned to rock. The road became very wide and the road markings were sort forced to comply with the mistake. My dad had pointed it out, 'Look someone royally screwed up!'

The business owners in town (guess what their ideology was) would never allow the Interstate to bypass the town.

Everyone traveling I-95 had to come down from highway speed and dick with a series of poorly-timed traffic lights (or well-timed, if you were a greedy dirtbag). Many died because someone couldn't make the transition.

Well, at least you got there alive.
