Strange Signs

Remember Gary Larson's cartoon about the Midvale School for the Gifted?

I saw this sign posted on a door at a private school for students with average to above-average intelligence.

Strange Quote of the Day (and a Strange Crime)

The quote of the day is:

"As it turns out, being arrested is a great way to induce labor."

Two women were stealing software from Wal-Mart when they got caught. Upon being arrested, one woman went into labor, and had to be taken to the hospital instead of the police station. She is being charged with theft. I would add a charge of corrupting a minor for involving the baby in the heist.

Strange Signs

I took this picture in downtown San Diego today. I think there is a one-way street, but I can't figure out which way it goes:

Here's another great sign photo (from theBerry.com). Note to self: When you hang a "Lease" sign in front of a "Subway" sign, take a step back and look at the big picture.

Drowning in Stupidity

From John McAllister of "Friends of the San Diego Library":

"Speaking in a blog, Gayle Falkenthal, spokesperson for NO on Proposition D, challenged the need for libraries in today's society:

 

Government should provide essential service and NO MORE. But essential services aren't all that easy to define. Let's focus on the City of San Diego. Sure, we all agree on police and fire protection being essential. What about lifeguard service? I say no. It's your choice to go into the ocean, so you accept the risk. Libraries? I love libraries but they aren't essential either, certainly not in the age of the Internet.  

"Library services are more important and popular than ever, with circulation at an all-time high and use of Library Internet and technology resources exploding."

We don't need lifeguards and libraries...we can be illiterate when we drown.
