jbtaylor, I like those and this is a great idea for a photo thread. I'll see what I might have.
David, government is always trying to keep the citizenry from doing stuff they want to do. I can imagine all the disappointed kids who are not swimming there because of that darn sign prohibiting it.

Found this in Colombo 2 weeks ago. Maybe someone fluent in colonial idioms could explain how "barefoot staff" and "authorized vehicles" goes together.

Henry, I love that - the whole building reminds me of a cracked and decaying tooth!

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Pepsodent might help you have healthy, strong teeth, but it, apparently, does nothing for buildings.

Each sign is a gem!
JBTaylor, this is a great thread and thanks for the initation. Each sign is an 'x-ray' into how human mind and mentality works...and as in Henry's and David Kilpatrick's cases how nature deals with 'the works'.
Great shots!
