An Infinite Lack of Wisdom

From the great heights of Jimmy Pattison I now take you down to the pathetically small minds of government bureaucrats. Two years ago I learned that the City of Vancouver Parks Board had decided in its infinite lack of wisdom to rename "Spanish Banks" to "Spanish Bank". For those not local to Vancouver, this is a series of beaches that graces the northwestern edge of the city.

Apparently someone had seen the singular version on an old map and the "great minds" at the Parks Board decided that all signage and literature had to be changed! Woo Hoo, a new way to waste the taxpayers money. What a GREAT idea!!!

Idiots! One has to wonder if the cost of such changes were deducted, even in part, from the salaries of the decision makers, would they be so quick to embark on such waste? Sandra Thomas, in her usual whimsical way, has written an hilarious story about this here.
