One of the big mysteries to me as a kid was how ambulances had the word "ambulance" backwards on the front of the hood.

The first time I saw that, I thought whoever did the lettering screwed up bigtime and the ambulance people couldn't do nothin about it coz it was permanently stuck on.

Just to make sure, I asked my friend why it was like that, and he goes "Man you dork. It's so you can tell what the hell it is when it's behind you. Look in the mirror next time."

So today I looked in the mirror. Man, he was right.
