Street Dispatch: Passing time in Chinatown

Inching my car through Chinatown this morning, I was lucky enough to be stuck behind one of those yellow-orange city trucks kitted out with ladders, road signs, traffic cones and the like. It helped pass the time. There were eight colorful stickers on the back, including one that admonished me to "Watch the Road." Plus a homemade, cardboard-and-Sharpie-pen sign on a side window that asked: "Got Hooters?"

And there was a bucket attached to the back, labeled "PERVO PLUS."

Not being a DIY type, I ask: What's "PERVO PLUS"? And what bright bulb came up with the name?

Not sure what conclusions you're jumping to, but Pervo Plus is a brand of paint used on roads. I should add that my own morning commute was fairly uneventful. Since I live in Montana.

"Pervo Plus" is a brand of High Traffic Grade paint.

From their website: "Pervo", meaning impervious in the Dutch language, was the ideal quality necessary in a top quality paint brand.

Get your mind out of the gutter. 8-)
