I published another post today (see “Is This Really Necessary?”) which posed the question about the necessity of posting a sign instructing one to keep his or her hands out of the toilet. Fortunately, the above-mentioned toilet was equipped with a tool that made the use of one’s hands unnecessary. Of course, I assume this tool […]
Sometimes, even if there are signposts guiding the way, things can be confusing.
Part of what I love about photography is the ability to capture interesting images of strange juxtapositions. Seeing a mannequin in a store window or in other situations holds much promise for a thought provoking photograph. There are many people who misuse the apostrophe. If that is the case above, there are additional meanings to […]
My photo below combines my love for odd signs and doors (see yesterday’s post). I love this one:
I don’t care if mulches are private or public they should all be free. Actually, I think mulch is singular as well as plural, like moose and moose. Therefore, I rephrase: all mulch should be freed to roam as they please. There should be a collective plural to name the entity that occurs when two […]

Note that the sign writer said “I promised”; ‘promised’ is in the past tense. The building owner already promised not to […]
I don’t know why, but the sign below struck me as funny. I’ve always thought of watermelons as very sociable fruit. They are present at picnics and are constituent parts of fruit salads, ubiquitous at family gatherings. It would be unsettling for someone to sneak off to a remote area of the picnic grounds to munch […]
I couldn’t resist photographing this painted stop sign. After the paint dried, another street crew must have found it necessary to remove the circular iron grid upon which some of the sign was painted. Far from being attentive to details, the crew did not replace the very heavy manhole cover in the right position. I know […]
I really like signs. I appreciate the simple declarative ones, for example: Ambiguous signs are amusing: I also like unique signs. I saw this one today: How does one get a ‘Confined Space’ permit anyway?
I love signs. There are signs that are ambiguous, but state their meaning in no uncertain terms: There are signs that express frustration: Today I saw another sign. It struck me as ironic. The sign, when read in its entirety advises, its readers of their right to not be deterred from shopping, presumably by people asking […]
