This one I kind of understand. I could be making this up, but I'm pretty sure I've seen commercials on TV where law enforcement officers say, "It's the law" and I've also seen print ads where a law lady or man is pictured with "It's the law" next to them. So I guess this particular quotation use is supposed to create the illusion that a higher authority is speaking to you directly. Or something.
I don't know; I live in Missouri (I recognize the state seal on the thing) and I assume that's what they get us to think. I haven't seen one of those in a long time, so I guess Big Brother got tired of saying it.
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.

So THAT'S why my shoulders are always so tense!
...we think...
Actually, I think that "It's the law" is both a fact and a slogan.
Reminds me of the joke
"Gravity : not just a good idea.
It's the law."
