Signs and Notices 21

These are supposedly actual signs that have appeared at various locations.

• At my University's Student center Bathrooms: "If you see four feet instead of two under the bathroom door, please notify it immediately to the University Police."
• In the hallway of a High School in New Jersey "Our School: Commitment, Responsibility, Attitude, Persistance."
• Road sign in Roosevelt, Utah: "Rest Area Next Right" - the next right leads a person right into to a cemetery.
• A sign in the local opportunity shop says, "If your going to steal, then smile for the camera."
• While stopped at an intersection I noticed a man standing on the corner in front of a Burger King. He was holding a sign that read "Will work for food." If he had only looked up, he would have noticed that the Burger King sign directly above him read "Now hiring."
• At an office: "This job is only a test had it been an actual job, you would have received raises, bonuses and promotions."
• Seen on a billboard along a highway: "Caution: Objects in the mirror may have flunked drivers education."
