Warning! Warning!

My brother and I used to play a game trying to find the most ridiculous warning signs featuring stick figures. Our favorite was always the man getting squashed by the Coke machine because he rocked it. Not only is it an absurd image, but I like to think of it as a parable for being too cheap. Well, move over Coke man, I think I just found a new favorite:

Personally, I like the road signs on the (I)5 down near San Diego with the whole family crossing the street and the word "PROHIBIDO."

Well, i don't undestand exactly if your in accordance or not.
Never mind: i know some peoples need some directions:
Anecdote: Yesterday evening i want to the self.
I just read the blog of watts about problem with pickpockets, if i am not wrong. A young man, not so young, not so old, not so fat, not so thin, not so sportif, not so poussif, but wearing one enormous sac à dos was before me , paying. I said about the phone at the trousers, so obvious, "Don't keep it there", showing it precisely with the finger. He didn't understand anything, concernind the words in english, concerning the finger, he believed i was talking of the sac a dos (Why should i say he has not to waer one? Non sense), looked at very very precisely my chéquier, and a lot of another observations; years ago i thought it was one maneer of saying to us french peoples we are stupids ( he was american). No sincerely, he didn't imagine anything to try to understand in the contrary of all the foreigners peoples i met during my life. Terrible. At the end i concluded that he ddin't feel any problem Because he got one strong metal chain, ( nobody couldn't see it), so no problem. But hte problem was more accute: As i had said one conseil to him as he got more money than me for the person to the payment i received severe words from her...(i was eating therefore elsewhere).I just thought that somebody could agress him even with the chain and me beside...It is a pity i am always in no communication only with americans persons...
But be careful of the advantage to use simples sticks, flags and so on for them!!!

I am also a big fan of signs along I-5, but those are more sad than humorous. The warning sign was from a parking structure in Pasadena located off Lake St, should you be in that part of town.

cvj: Excellent site. God bless the Japanese, I think they have the best signs by far. Their subway system signs also rock, sadly I was too embarassed to take a picture.
