Thank you, Susan.
Yes, the newspaper editor was making a joke.

I'm for thinking it was a joke by the newspaper guys. That in their area,
there
were a few to many holes in the road ways, and they were poking fun at the
road
crews who were not keeping their job done.
I think the same road crews now take care of Boise's roads. :-)
