Ugh. Just, ugh.
ROUNDABOUT — A roundabout is being built in a community that might not necessarily need one, but will let people drive around in a circle a bit before going somewhere.
“The long term plan is just to have everyone drive just a little dizzy. Won’t that be fun?”

What differentiates this roundabout? A spokesperson from the Department of Roundabouts explains:
“Like all 438 of the other roundabouts on PEI, this one lets you drive in a circle. But to make things fun, we actually made this one into a figure-8! It’s a double roundabout!”
Jean Francois Gallant, a long-time drawer of circles that have been turned into roads, also goes on to say that this double roundabout is a test for even bigger projects to come.
“In the next 20 years, when science invents new circle technology, I can see us doing a 3-D roundabout. And then when flying cars get popular? It’s going to be even more intense!”
“The long term plan is just to have everyone drive just a little dizzy. Won’t that be fun?”
Gallant also went on to explain — ad nauseam, despite being asked to stop — that roundabouts will keep the public safe, add green space to highways, support job creation, improve children’s education (presumably from drawing circles), and many more increasingly implausible things until we just walked away.
