Koohii stories:

1) [DurablePants] 23-6-2006(217): You see a huge army of people in silver armour on the road so you retreat.

2) [nolusu] 25-8-2007(72): In the land of Oz, you advance by following the golden road, but you reatreat by following the Silver Road.

3) [PepeSeco] 25-6-2006(48): In Spanish there is a saying which is useful to remember this kanji. It says: "A enemigo que huye, puente de plata," which translates literally as "To enemy that retreats, silver bridge," meaning one should not stay in the way of a retreating enemy. In the kanji we just replace the silver bridge by a silver road.

4) [misha] 1-11-2007(41): Vampires retreat down the road when they see villagers arming themselves with silverware.

5) [CharleyGarrett] 21-12-2006(13): Orders in from HQ: Retreat! Grab the silver and hit the road.
