Proofreading is a lost art.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Re: Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign
I had to read that sign three times to get it. And that was because you'd posted it. I'm pretty sure that if I saw it in the street I'd never see what it actually said.
There's a chess You Tube channel I go to a lot: agadmator (I recommend it if you play). He'll be replaying a game between two top players and he'll say: OK, pause the video and see if you can find the move which caused white to resign immediately. I do so and three times out of ten I find the right move and congratulate myself on my elevated ability as a chess artist. Of course, if he had not said that there was an excellent move there, and by implication it's not an expected move, I never would have come close to finding that queen sacrifice.
It's called inattentional blindness. If you're not looking for something, you often don't see it even when it's right in front of you,

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

If that walk-in freezer doesn't have an inside latch release the owner of this establishment can be open to arrest and/or negligence lawsuits.
He should demand a higher purchase from the customer to balance out the possible liability he's inviting.

Did I do this one before? Sign on the toilet at "The Owl House" - a very peculiar place 24km north west of the N9 between Graaff-Reinet and Rosemead.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Yes, by all means let’s execute people for property crimes.

If a home invader wishes to avoid the prospect of having the private citizen whose home he has invaded exercising their legitimate right to use deadly force against a home invader, a very simple solution presents itself...
Don't invade homes...
Problem solved...
