If Sue U ruled the world

[Gob]

The world would be full of these signs!!

[Joe Guy]

[Scooter]

I don't imagine someone would have put up the signs about feeding the alligators or using the stairwells as toilets, to name just a couple, unless someone had already done it. So yes, already obvious to most, but not useless.

[Lord Jim]

but not useless.

I disagree.

I don't think that people who urinate in stairwells or torment alligators are likely to be deterred by signs.

I don't think the problem is "gee whiz, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that"....

So for the vast majority of us who wouldn't do things like that sign or no sign, the signs are unnecessary; and for the boorish few that would do those things, the signs will provide no deterrence.

Thus rendering them pretty much useless....

[Econoline]

Thus rendering them pretty much useless....

...well, except for this one....


(And actually there are also a couple of others besides that one which are obviously deliberately meant to be humorous, and succeed on that level--and that's not useless!)

This would be another one that falls into that category:

Why do you hate free enterprise?

ETA:

If I ruled the world, there'd be a lot more changes than a few stupid signs, that's for sure.

Ain't that the truth...

We'd all be living under Workers Collective Committees and calling each other Comrade...

[Sue U]

At least we'd have an aesthetic sensibility.

[MajGenl.Meade]

I don't think that people who urinate in stairwells . . . are likely to be deterred by signs.

I don't think the problem is "gee whiz, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that"....

You don't think they give a whizz, then?
