[ WP ] The I-495 in Massachusetts is like any other highway , but between exits 35 and 37 , exit 36 has disappeared . Why is it missing ?

`` I just do n't got it.'' Dave repeated in his heavy Brooklyn accent. 
 
 `` Shut up, Dave!'' Steve also repeated in his equally heavy Brooklyn accent. 
 
 `` Ok, ok,'' His hands motioned for Steve to slow down, `` Look, I just do n't get why we robbed Exit 36 from the I-495.'' Dave's hand scratched the back of his head as he looked around the room at all of his and Steve's ill gotten goods, with the large highway exit sticking out among them. `` It just do n't make sense.'' 
 
 Steve, conversely, was ravenously digging through a pile of stolen trinkets, desperately looking for the camera he'd nabbed last week. `` We thieved it because we're thieves, Dave! Dave, how many times do I have to say it?! Thieves thieve things, Exit 36 of the I-495 was masterfully thieved, which makes us master thieves, Dave!'' This, of course, was all plainly obvious to Steve, who master minded the operation, and it annoyed him to no end that his partner could n't see the beauty in this turn of events. 
 
 `` Yeah, I know,'' Dave managed, still not fully comprehending, `` But we mostly do gas station jobs and maybe the occasional library. A highway exit seems a bit...'' He searched for the right words, `` Misunusual.'' He was not really all that understanding that'misunusual was n't a word, still, he enjoyed saying it. `` And stop saying my name,'aint nobody else here you need to distinguish me from.'' Polysyllabic words made Dave feel smart, you see. 
 
 Steve let out a scream of anguish toward the ceiling, `` I keep saying your name because it's part of our new brand! Steve and Dave, master thieves! This is our step up.'' He explained, `` Our *exit* from the junior division, and to the pros.'' Dave seemed, as with everything else, completely uncomprehending of Steve's incredibly clever pun, which angered his partner further. `` Do you *want* to push over 7-11's and seventy-three-year-old librarians for the rest of your life Dave? Or do you want to thieve *bigger*, thieve *better*, thieve *more*? This will get us noticed, get us better jobs!'' 
 
 Dave did n't take too kindly to Steve's words, as Dave was a touch defensive of his current life of pushing over 7-11's and libraries. After all the first job Steve and he'd ever pulled was on his nana's library, after which she baked cookies for the men as she was just so proud of her little Dave for doing such a good job robbing the place. Still, bigger and better did sound bigger and better, so he went along with it. `` Ok, so I think I'm beginning to get it.'' 
 
 Steve stood up straight, shocked his partner understood. `` Finally! I tell you Dave, this is the fast track! Today, a highway exit, tomorrow, the Hope Diamond, the day after that, an entire highway! We are on our way, Dave!'' A tear moved to Steve's eye. A lifelong dream was coming to fruition. Momma Steve would have been so proud. 
 
 Dave anticipation grew as he began to fully understood the plan, `` So when people want somethin' stolen, and are considerin' us for the job, Exit 36 will act as our... our...'' 
 
 `` Credentials.'' Offered the positively beaming Steve. 
 
 `` Right credentials. So we'll get the job, then we start usin' what we stole for that job and the Exit as more credentials, so we mo' jobs, and mo' money! That right?'' Steve nodded furiously as the aforementioned tear ran down his face. Dave's brain was n't, however, done, and began to engage in the ever dangerous activity of critical thought. `` Uh... Steve? A thought occurs.'' 
 
 Steve, ever vigilant, snapped out of his euphoric state, for even he knew that Dave thinking was n't a good thing. `` What is it Dave?'' 
 
 Dave, his mental gears grinding at full force, continued, `` What if the fellas with the jobs just think of us as the weirdos who stole a highway exit?'' 
 
 Steve, with all of his twenty-three minutes of planning for this job, had n't thought of that possibility, but still managed to react with a fully cool, calm, collected and intelligent, `` Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...'' 
 
 `` And Steve? Another thought occurs.'' Dave pointed out as he scratched his scruffy chin. 
 
 Steve deflated at the mention of more of Dave's thinking. `` What, Dave?'' 
 
 `` Just what the hell are we going to do with a highway exit?''
