So what does one do while stuck at a standstill because some dork wants to turn left in the middle of a construction zone? Pull out the camera and take a photo of the misspelling of &#8220;Bismarck&#8221; in the window of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bismantransit.com\/_wsn\/page3.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bis-Man Transit<\/a> bus in front of me, of course!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure Bis-Man Transit doesn&#8217;t make the window stickers, and neither do most of their advertisers. With that in mind, I&#8217;m sure that both BMT and Firestone employees know how to spell Bismarck. As far as the ad agency or printer who made this decal&#8230;well, they need to go back to school!<\/p>\n<p>This sign has been on the bus for a long time, as its Firestone Red has faded to a faint communist pink. I wonder if anyone&#8217;s told Firestone that their ad has Bismarck spelled wrong, and that they should get their advertising account credited for the blunder? I mean, if I was paying for someone to drive around town with my business name on their bus, I wouldn&#8217;t want to be associated with spelling my own city wrong. What if someone thinks it&#8217;s my fault and doesn&#8217;t visit my business as a result? It&#8217;s a stretch, but people are wacky that way. I would want my money back, or at least some free ads (with the spelling corrected, of course).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a TON of construction going on out there these days, much of it along my daily route.
