Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways?

Still smashing watermelons?

Was that his joke? I would have thought that came from Mitch Hedberg, but I never knew the source.

^ Pretty sure it was him, although could have been Steven Wright.

Wait…what’s the difference between a turnpike and a freeway? I thought they were the same thing.

In order to be fair, here in the great state of Texas, we don’t call anything a “turnpike”. Everything is called a “freeway”.

On a side note (pun intended), what do you call the little roads that run alongside the freeway (or turnpike)? I call them “frontage roads”. People from Houston call them “feeders”.

Tollway and Toll Road are popular in Texas. Westpark Tollway, Hardy Toll road, Sam Houston Tollway, Dallas North Tollway.

^Yeah, I’m used to Tollway or Toll Road and Freeway. When I hear “turnpike”, I think, “Yankee, go home.”

Similarly, a tollway is also a freeway, but a freeway isn’t necessarily a tollway. (Kinda like “a square is a rectangle…”)

A tollway is a freeway that isn’t free.
