SIGNS

Last night my wife and attended a meeting of our neighborhood association board. The meeting started at 530 pm and was over at 830. The never ending conversation was about signs. We need more signs to stop speeder on our roads, even thought most of the speeders on our roads are people that were at the meeting. Well how many signs are we going to put up 2 or 3 and were are we going to put them up. Then someone wanted to put up a "pick up your trash" sign around the ponds in the area. People have been fishing there and some are leaving trash when they leave. Now in my world if you were not schooled in the art of picking up after yourself a sign is not going to make you more responsible. A good kick in the ass will make that happen. The sign conversation continued. Where would we put the sign? How about on the "use at your own risk" sign that is already there. OK we all voted and we were on to the next problem. Why don't we tear down the wooden sign at the entrance of our development. OK another sign problem. We all agree to lose the sign. Now what sign will we put up in its place? Golly gee I just don't know. Well now we have a 3 person committee to come up with a new sign.

Sign, sign everywhere a sign Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind Do this don't do that can't you read the sign?

I suggested that we put up a sign saying" NO SIGNS". I of course was humiliated by my neighbors and thrown out of the meeting.
