Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign

We took a little ride today & I was sitting shotgun with my camera. Unfortunately, I missed the shots I really wanted like that sign that said, “Wink.” I’m not quite sure what that meant. It may have been a campaign sign for someone named Wink or maybe it meant you were supposed to wink when you passed by.

Then there was the sign that said, “No turn on red,” which isn’t so unusual or strange. However, it then felt the need to go into further detail: “This means you. It goes for a red arrow, too. No turns on a red arrow. If you do turn, you will be arrested.” Okay, it didn’t quite say that. Only the part about not turning on a red arrow, which led me to ask, “Are people really that stupid?” That was quickly followed up with the realization that yes, they are that stupid and do need to have everything spelled out for them.

As we passed through various towns on Long Island, they each announced where you were now entering. They all had a sign that looked like this:


dwi sign

What I want to know is this: Isn’t DWI a crime everywhere? Why do they need to specifically state that? Are there some towns where they aren’t quite so strict? Do those towns have a sign that says, “DWI not so strictly enforced” or “We welcome drunks?”

    There’s a sign in six languages in a church in Venice and the English part said “This is a church. You are not alowed to behave indecently”.

    ….do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the signs? Personally, I’m glad I finally found a church that not only allows indecent behavior, but encourages it. Now, if only it was in one of those towns that welcomes drunks. YEE-HA!
