Let us tell you one of humanity’s most unkept secrets: we are not that smart. We like to pride ourselves on making it to the moon, but we should also remember that some people need to be reminded that their Superman capes will not give them the ability to fly.
Most of us need to constantly be reminded of things that are completely obvious. Sometimes, even a sign that says “Don’t feed the lions” or “Don’t come near the lions” isn’t enough to keep tragedies at bay. Occasionally, actually more often than not, stating the unmistakable, clear facts, is just the only way to go.
Beware of a Lambush
Getting people to do the basic things all humans should do can be harder than it seems. Closing a door after you just walked through it? Yeah, that concept might be lost on more people than you'd expect. Let alone closing this graveyard's gate to avoid any sheep that might try to graze around there.
We are sure the place has a person in charge of landscaping (seems like a must for a graveyard) and would appreciate not having any sheep interfering with their plans for the place. The only way to get people to behave is by letting them know what happens if they don't. In this case, it's sheep causing chaos.
Howl You Doin’?
If you stop and take a minute to look at all of the signs you've ever seen, you'll notice they always address dog owners, but never the dogs. What terrible discrimination. And to think we dare call dogs our best friends. You can't see but we're shaking our head in disbelief.
This brave sign-maker wanted to correct this terribly unjust practice by addressing dogs and talking to them in a language that they can understand. Sure, it doesn't make much sense, but that's only for us humans. The dogs were given a lovely message we are just not intelligent enough to understand.
Driving Us Crazy
It's happened to all of us, no matter what faith we come from, we've all found ourselves saying the lord's name a bit too much. It can be when we are surprised, scared, or even happy, but we think anger is what triggers that word most. Especially when we're stuck in traffic and experiencing severe road rage.
But, there's a catch, according to this sign, the more you say god's name in vain, the more likely god is to get angry and well, smite you with things that we'll just make you want to say "For god's sake, why do I deserve this?"
A Good, Hoppy Ending
At some point, signs that indicate that children are around have stopped being enough for crazy car drivers who just want to get home as fast as possible and don't seem to care about anything else. They see that yellow traffic sign with the kid's silhouette on it and just keep going like it wasn't even there.
This person came up with the perfect solution: everyone should drive as if the whole road is riddled with bunnies. That imagery is enough to confuse anyone into driving a bit more slowly and carefully. Plus, people will drive slower if only for a chance to read the sign properly.
