Pasadena’s Fork In the Road
The fork is an elaborate - and expensive - birthday prank in honor of the 75th birthday of Bob Stane, founder of the Ice House comedy club. Stane said he first mentioned the fork in the road idea 10 years ago to his friend and partner Ken Marshall. But it wasn’t until his week-long birthday celebration, starting Oct. 29, that his friends pulled the surprise.
The wooden fork, is “expertly carved and painted,” to look like metal, Stane said. ”It’s anchored in 2 1/2-feet of concrete and steel. It’s not a public danger - unless someone drives into it.” His friends, in full Caltrans uniform complete with helmets and lights, dug the hole “in dead of night.”
