Do Not Suck!

Written by eklastic

So many signs are forbidding something. (NB: I translated more literally than idiomatically.)

It’s forbidden to enter.

Some signs are wordier than others.

In the forest it is forbidden: to start a fire even for barbequing, to smoke, to camp, to leave garbage, to drive with motor vehicles. Fines up to 10.000 German Mark.

Some are curt but add the forbidding authority to add force.

The mayor doesn’t allow to beat the trees for fruits (chestnuts) to fall.

Some may have an acceptable reasoning behind it.

It’s forbidden to drive on the cover of the rivulet.

Some might. Or might not.

Signs in a park: No music. Not letting your dog … if you are a reasonable citizen.

Some seem to be put up out of spite. Or maybe not.

It’s forbidden to play ball against this wall.

So I really appreciate a sign like this.

Playing welcome! Children and adults are allowed to laugh and romp about is allowed!

But even then, some restrictions might be a good idea.

No entry for drunks.

In any case, it might be a good idea to read signs properly

Bird park

even if only for self preservation.

Beware of the dog! Cats 7, postmen 6, joggers 3, burglars 2.

But the most important sign which I try to follow in my life:

Attention! It’s forbidden to suck.
