    I finally got it after reading it for the third time. I kept asking myself, what does that have to do with duct tape?

    seriously? you'd think people who make signs would be smart enough to distinguish between area's and areas. but interesting placement of the tape.

    I caught that too. That is a pet peeve of mine. I see it all the time down here in south Texas in what are supposed to be professionally painted signs! I attributed it to the fact that there are so many spanish speaking people down here but apparently it is not exclusive to this area.

    No the problem is that there is very little common sense left in the world added to the fact that every time someone doesn't use common sense they get hurt and sue someone else instead of taking responsibility for their own actions..... which is why we have so many leaches (aka lawyers)
    As for the Spanish signs....don't get me started on that can of worms...but if they can't read English, too bad.

    Ohhh! no let's not go there - my blood is really boliling over - blood pressure nearing explosive force.

    I have my Oxford guide to English Usage and my Oxford Dictionary at the ready. (British of course - so watch out american spelling)

    Right I volunteer for the job.

    Forgot - love the pic.
