This sticker was spotted by Skye (who apparently has two blogs) on the wall of a city bus in Austin, TX. I didn't know that people drilled on bus walls generally. Maybe it's a euphemism, hence the quotation marks.
What's scary about signs like that is there's probably a reason it's up. As in, someone attempted to "drill" that area before. Whatever it is this "drilling" means.

I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Hmm. The possibilities opened up by "drill" as a euphemism cast a sinister pall on my childhood fascination with New Yankee Workshop.
I think it's in quotes because one is supposed to imagine a burly construction worker yelling it
I would have underlined it.
