    @pluralistic This thread reminds me of a sign I saw on a road trip when I was growing up. It was placed at the intersection of a road and a driveway, and I immediately started laughing as we passed it. I originally interpreted it to mean it was an entrance reserved for, I dunno, houseplants, and there must be a different entrance for people somewhere else.

            @Vibracobra23 @pluralistic Found it, finally! After running as a background task all day, the LLM that I've been training for over sixty years came through and remembered where I read it. Knew it was in a book I owned and had read more than once, a very long time ago. Not exactly high literature, but "The Boy's Own Annual" (Vol. 60, 1937-38) was the source of this memory:

            Bill Stickers will be prosecuted
            The public warnings run
            The question we should like to ask
            Isβ€” what's Bill Stickers done?

              @pkdmva @pluralistic See also HEAVY PLANT CROSSING which always makes me imagine some sort of triffid migration.

                      @drawnonglass @MattMerk @pluralistic Loophole:

                      Print out a multitude of tiny stickers about sticker prohibition, and use them to spell out other messages.

                        @aebrockwell @pluralistic I took this photo in Scotland. Apparently elderly people had become such a road hazard that the council felt that they needed to put up a sign.
