Well folks, rule 6 tells us everything we need to know. It's a government thing. My husband makes signs, including directional and instructional signs like this one. One of the things stipulated for government jobs is that the signs be worded and punctuated exactly as stated in the work order--the sign makers are not to correct things that appear to be in need of correction without authorization. The beauty is that for engraved signs like this, there's a darn good chance the government was charged per character. Fabulous example of your "tax dollars" at "work"--wink wink, nudge nudge......
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.

If this gym is anything like the one I go to, these rules are completely optional. Especially the one about reracking weights.
OMG
Triple fail, what with the excessive spacing and lack of proper frontal quotation marks.
