Most foreign drivers are easily recognizable...
...cows hardly represent the limits of ASCII art. Even something as complex as a rendition of the Mona Lisa-composed of letters, semi-colons, dollar signs and other miscellaneous symbols-is possible. ASCII (pronounced "ask-ee") is an acronym for American Standard Code for Informational Interchange. Or, for the computer neophyte, you're standard keyboard text...
