Road signs saying ‘420’ are changed to ‘419.9’ to stop weed smokers giggling

For reasons lost in the mists of time – or possibly in a big cloud of hydroponic weed smoke – the number ‘420’ is code for pot.

It’s SO GODDAMN HILARIOUS that weed-addled types often stop their cars to remove road signs with the number on it – hence this new, less funny sign saying 419.9.

It’s much like the predicament faced by the Austrian town of F*cking, where the road sign vanishes constantly.

Authorities in Idaho have had enough, however – and have removed the ‘420’ sign on Highway 95 and replaced it with a much less hilarious 419.9.

What will the stoners do now? Probably go back to watching Netflix and eating takeaway, we suspect.
