Last weekend I ran a 10K road race and I came across this sign. I won’t reveal where exactly it was other than that it was somewhere in a city on the East Coast of the USA. I was so intrigued that I went back the following day with a photo camera. How can anyone think that anybody would take these stupid commands seriously?
1. Drive like your kids
Of course not! Not like my 12-year old son. But even if he was 18 I’d certainly not like to adopt his style of driving. Why would I?
2. Live here
And even if I came out of that car alive or without serious damage, I would of course not like to live with these people, who surely must be very sadly crazy.
I drove away, as stupefied as the day before. Over my head I heard a herring gull cry, it sounded like laughing.
