Far from the disaster that christened an English ship ‘Boaty McBoatFace’, Scotland held a public drive to name more than 50 plowing trucks responsible for keeping the roads safe for motorists—and the results are too funny.
The contest was organized by Amey, a company responsible for maintaining public highways and bridges, performing inspections, and keeping the roads clear from debris and snow.
Running from December 23 to January 23, online submissions took puns to a new level, with many tributes to the nation’s late beloved film star Sean Connery.
Of course, they include every possible play on wintery words imaginable—and a simple GPS app allows you to see where each truck is deployed, marked with their locations with their own unique name.
Hopefully by next winter, Amey will have painted stylized images on the doors of each truck to reflect their names—the way World War II warplanes were decorated with comic book paintings in the ’40s.
