World's Dumbest Signs

[Nimue1995 1]

Seattle had a highway construction project. A guy could walk across the pedestrian portion of an overpass, and look down, 50-60 feet, and see nasty pieces of rebar and construction debris below. Attached to the handrail was a sign that said "DO NOT JUMP". I thought it was pretty good advice, but it still makes my list of dumbest signs. The classic, for me, was a sign that used to be posted outside the post office which said "NO DOGS ALLOWED ---- except seeing eye dogs". So, is the dog, himself supposed to read the sign, and know it's OK for him to enter the building? Or, is the dog's owner supposed to read the sign, in which case we have to wonder WHY he has a seeing eye dog in the first place. That one always made me wonder.... Clearly, it was not intended to be read by the population exempted from the rule. Rather, it had to be for the benefit of sighted humans. So, why not just say "NO DOGS"? Well, there IS a law which permits seeing eye dogs in any public building, so one would think it not necessary to post the exeption, but.... I think the only legitimate reason for the sign was to discourage self-appointed citizen-enforcers from ejecting the blind guy with his dog from the premises. So, the sign was actually only meant to be read by imbeciles, so it makes the list. Similarly, I would only consider jumping from the overpass if I were interested in a very painfull and public death. AND, if I was in that kind of mood, why would I heed the sign? It's a pretty fair guess that I'm ready to break some rules in order to KILL myself. The sign, again, was not directed as suicidally despondent folks, but for the "average joe". Perhaps the thought was that the self-appointed enforcers would intervene to prevent a suicide IF they knew there was a sign clearly prohibiting it. Otherwise, we all might just tell the jumper "adios" as he clears the rail, or something.

Signs like these are not for the public, they are for the lawyers to use during the lawsuits.

We're up against a cynical, blase group of know-it-alls who think e-putdowns are the ultimate weapon.

I used to think FCP was a good place to hide from these types....although i still think it is, for the most part.

Well, if you are between a 6.75 and a 7.25 and wear drag he has a hookup for you where you can not only measure your dick you can sword fight with it.

I've got sources in every rat-hole corner of the interwebs, pussy. Hiding is impossible. You can run, but that just means you'll be exhausted when I catch you and flame you to ashes.
