I liked this sign so I thought I'd share it with you.

My pal, MeFi/MeCha username O9scar, kinda collects this sort of stuff.

I think it's a good sign. I like how the guy's not just squished, but, like, ActionSquished(tm) he really looks like he was caught by surprise.

You can totally hear the "oof" noise he's making. Poor little bald dude.

"Do not paint over this sign". Love that.

Do not paint over this sign
Do not tape over this sign
Do not magic-marker this sign
Do not cover this sign with another sign
Do not cover this sign with paper products
Do not cover this sign with petroleum-derived products
DO NOT COVER THIS SIGN!!!

They haven't quite covered their asses, yet.

Yeah, and they didn't even say "Do not remove this sign."

Also: this reminds me of the warning sign on the big industrial paper cutter I used to use when I was a copy geek, showing horribly crushed fingers... The design of the machine was such that you had to press two buttons simultaneously with both hands. Smart, right? Well, some stupid-heads at Kinko's jammed one button with a marble so they didn't have to use both hands, and guess what happened? Yep, two fingers chopped off.

They should have read the sign.

That's not an accident Specklet, that's evolution in action.

Do not read this sign under penalty of law. Fine $50.00.

Damn, that moving gate looks like FUN!

If you collect these types of signs, just collect pictures of them. Not the actual signs, as they may be important.

Ian Frazier has an article about feral pigs in the latest New Yorker. At one point, he described an open topped pen that the captured pigs were kept in. You could bend over the pen and look down at them, but were advised not to. Reason being, they could jump up and bite your face.

There needs to be a warning sign of that.

Yeah, Capn, that's a damn good sign.

Here's one of my favorites.

And I love the person (or people) who placed these two side-by-side.

Capn and sarah connor made me shoot cola through my nose, for real, with that pig face-biting sign.
