A girl in the middle of nowhere in a short skirt

This is a sort of a UK companion thread to SS's Google Nearly KIlled me.

Background.
Somewhere around 1990 I was employed by a friend as a programmer in the traffic industry. The particular field was the independent monitoring of traffic lights to ensure they did what they were supposed to do.
In England (and Wales) anywhere more than about 400 yards (400 metres) from a house counts as 'the middle of nowhere'.

One of the local authorities we dealt with had an anomalous junction. The jumction was in the middle of nowhere at an entirely unremarkeable crossing of two minor roads. As result of the accident rate at the junction the local authority had installed traffic lights at (obviously) considerable expense. After the lights were installed the accident rate at the junction remained high along with claims that the lights were showing green in both directions - which is why we were called in to investigate. Our monitoring equipment was installed by site engineers and after a few months we could see nothing unusual. The junction continued to be an area of unusually frequent collisions, particularly late at night.

So we decided to go and have a look, Apart from desultry street lighting there was absolutely nothing unusual about the junction.

We tried the obvious things of charging at the lights from various directions and checking for conflicts (green lights for two opposing paths) and all looked good. Then we left the car and waited to see what the locals got up to on this junction. Despite (then) licensing laws it is a universally acknowledged truth that pubs in rural areas will usually close when the last drinker leaves. So that's why two blokes were standing by a set of traffic lights in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere in the summer of 1990.

No traffic but a girl wearing a short skirt walks past. As the gene combination maxes out at 10/10 'things' happen. Not slutty or tarty but just a perfect 10 walking past, feet not quite touching the ground, late at night, in a short skirt in the middle of nowhere.

 Let's dwell on the reaction of two randomly selected blokes.
1)Wow.
2)She's taking a bit of a chance.
3)We haven't been watching the traffic lights.
