Merging in Minnesota

"Since the day the first caveman chiseled the wheel to the time of the automobile, man has been learning to merge. Okay, maybe not back to the Stone Age, but to at least the days of ancient chariots when Pharaoh first collided with one of his subjects. Okay, maybe that didn't happen, but back in the day of oxen and cart, when Shakespeare plowed his band of wandering minstrels into the sheriff of Nottingham's stagecoach, merging has been a problem."
