I'm in Manhattan and the off ramp from I-95 goes right under my window.

There is a sharp curve and the sound of squeeling breaks is not uncommon. Neither is the sound of the police who have stopped drivers on the highway and directed them to pull off onto my street to get their comuppins.

The po-po like to use their loudspeaker (at all hours) to offer friendly hints to wayward motorists of which direction to steer their vehicles.

So one night early in our relationship my wife and I are discussing her moving into the apartment and where things were 'going' for us as a couple.

Just then we heard the loudspeaker, "You can only go ONE way, YOU CAN ONLY GO ONE WAY!!!"
