When I came across this picture, I chuckled to myself a little. It’s a sign about something that isn’t very important and advertises that the edges are sharp and do not touch edges as if you are going to explode if you do, and the read reason for the sign is to inform people the bridge is out ahead.

There are a few things wrong with this sign. The most obvious one would be that they have the real purpose of the sign in extremely small print. But if you look really closely to the sign, you’ll notice that the edges don’t look sharp at all. Granted, you can’t see if from the side so I suppose it could be pointed that way, but really, it doesn’t look that sharp. Maybe if a tornado swept through that area and cause the sign to hurl towards you at extremely high speeds you’d want to know that the sign is sharp and to watch out. But if you’re in an area where a tornado is hitting, you have an enormous amount of problems on your hands. You could get hit by a cow, or a car, or a sharp sign, but you’ll know to watch out for the sign because it says on the sign to watch out for the sharp edges. So don’t worry about it.

The pictures on the sign aren’t about the sharp edges either. They’re telling people walking and cars not to go near the bridge. Either that or I’m completely misreading the symbols and it’s actually saying, “Walkers, don’t come touch this sign. It could seriously hurt you.” And “Cars, don’t run into this sign whatever you do or you could seriously do some damage to the car and to the people riding inside because of these sharp edges. Don’t worry about hitting anything else. These sharp edges will end it all.”

This sign absolutely, positively one of the most ridiculous signs I’ve seen. If I saw one on the road, I’d definitely feel obliged to hit it up with some graffiti.
