This is a crazy coincidence. I stumble acro...Wow! This is a crazy coincidence. I stumble across this site a few weeks ago and thought: Finally! A place for "the sign," a sign that has baffled and amused me for, I don't know, decades. I made sure I got a picture of it last time I went downstate so I post it here and I just got onto the site today to post it, and there it was!!!! Posted only yesterday. That is pretty weird. <br /><br />I've always wondered what they meant by "prohibited." "Fishing & Crabbing is "Prohibited," if you know what we mean, wink, wink…" Or fishing and crabbing is sort of prohibited but not really. <br /><br />And always pictured the scenario if someone got caught fishing or crabbing from the bridge: the officer stops and says to the guy "Didn't you see the sign; it's right there. It says fishing and crabbing is 'prohibited'" with the cop using air quotes when he says "prohibited." :-)<br /><br />If I had known you were going to post the sign, I wouldn't have bothered. It was a little nerve wracking. Traffic wasn't consistently heavy that day, but when I got back to my car, a big, long clump of traffic was whizzing by at 60 or 65 mph, and the shoulder is pretty narrow near the bridge … I ended up crawling in through the passenger side because I was afraid to be standing there, opening my driver's side door. <br /><br />Anyway, here's my picture of the sign:<br /><br />http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd310/Apostate-of-Grace/prohibited.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
