Of Camels, Zebras and Jackasses

Say 'hump' anywhere in the world and one automatically thinks of roads and camels; in my country, say 'hump' and I think of roads, camels, zebras and jackasses.

There are no camels or zebras here but the people who place on our roads, steep, sometimes narrow, sometimes malformed, ugly, vicious humps without painting them with white stripes have got to be jackasses. Maybe they could use the paint to paint themselves with white stripes, then they could be mistaken for zebras.

I understand the need for humps as much as I understand the need for speed (no pun intended) but should not the humps be painted to be clearly visible and to indicate that a hump is ahead?

But then again, they could be part of a conspiracy with the pot-hole people, spare-part dealers and auto mechanics to mash up your vehicle so that you have to purchase parts and fix every day.

Sound like another jackass conspiracy theory?

And oh! I forgot about the other 'hump'; like in "the people who place on our roads, steep, sometimes narrow, sometimes malformed, ugly, vicious humps without painting them with white stripes..." have got to be enjoying humping us all.
