With just three additional letters, a New York exit sign became a hit on social media.
“ARY” was scrawled onto the Sagtikos Parkway sign, and the results are epic.

A sign marking the Crooked Hill Road exit on the Sagtikos Parkway was defaced to read “Crooked Hillary,” officials said.
Photos posted to social media show that someone had altered the green traffic sign to read “Crooked Hillary,” a moniker often used by President Donald Trump during his campaign to refer to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
The sign was reported to the State Department of Transportation Wednesday morning and corrected later that day, according to a DOT spokesman.
The DOT didn’t find the prank as humorous as social media.
Fox News later picked up on the story.

The Department of Transportation didn’t find the prank funny.
“As soon as we were notified about the graffiti yesterday morning, it was removed,” a DOT spokesperson told Newsday. “Defacing public signs is illegal.”
Yes, defacing public signs is a crime, and should be taken with all seriousness.
But share if you think it’s funny anyway.
