What I find even more interesting is that this person evidently doesn't want people running their dogs there, and yet encourages them to scoop their poop. So if the sign's audience obeys the first direction on the sign not to run their dogs, exactly whose poop does the signmaker expect them to be scooping?
the title might as well say "this is a sign" -- but even then it wouldn't need quotes, because that would be like saying "this text is saying 'this is a sign'"
That reminds me of the signs that people post that say "POSTED" at the top. Do they think that if it didn't say "POSTED" the sign would not, in fact, be posted?
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
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.
