Borrowed from tomakins:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your own journal, along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

...flashes off and on (as for the directing of traffic or the coded signaling...

For the record, it's part of the first definition of blinker in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition. The dictionary was just slightly closer to me than was The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition.

If that doesn't count, the next closest thing is "Preparing Your Corporate Tax Returns - Canada and Provinces - 24th Edition, 2004" Ooooh, excitement here at my desk!!!!

Isn't tax law fun?
