Going Nowhere Fast

I read the following in the paper this morning which made me pause:
'You are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic.'
Hmm.
Then it made me think that you could replace the word 'traffic' with a lot of things, e.g. 'a queue', 'a relationship', 'a life'...
Hmm.
But maybe not with 'a hole', because then you could possibly blame the council instead of yourself.
Hmm.
