Title (Dublin Core)

The X marking Social Distancing Is Causing Confusion. Humor

Description (Dublin Core)

Stores had lines outside them as they limited the number of people allowed inside. They would sometimes us an X to mark the 6 foot distancing rule while waiting.
This gave birth to memes about the x itself. One person compared it to a Road Runner cartoon because the road runner stood on an X and every time an anvil or some deadly object dropped on its head.
Another genre is the pirate stories. X's on maps marked where the treasure was buried. So all these X's around town could be very confusing while hunting for treasure.
humor, pirate, roadrunner, wilecoyote, cartoons, treasure, x
