An Imagined Conversation

Signmaker 1: You got that sign for the Prospect and Hilton intersection ready yet?

Signmaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't look right.

Signmaker 1: What do you mean? You printed what was on the work order, right?

Signmaker 2: Yeah, of course. "RAISED INTERSECTION". But it looks weird. Like off-balance.

Signmaker 1: *handles sign* I see. Pretty top heavy. Have you tried making the words smaller?

Signmaker 2: No, then you can't read it. Plus I tried breaking "INTERSECTION" into two lines but that looks horrible.

Signmaker 1: Hm. I know it doesn't say on the work order, but what if you added a third word at the end? That would fill in the empty space.

Signmaker 2: A third word? Like what?

Signmaker 1: Like "MAN". 

Signmaker 2. So the sign would say "RAISED INTERSECTION, MAN"?

Signmaker 1: Yes.

Signmaker 2: Brilliant. Fire up the printer again.
