    @_the_cloud @pluralistic Another street sign I saw (in Melbourne Australia) many years ago:

    "Blind Elderly People Crossing"

    which seems like a horribly cruel thing to do.

    @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.

      @aebrockwell @_the_cloud @pluralistic @jaythurbershow I was a Don Martin fan in the seventies and still recognize his style from the first panel 😄

      The hinged feet are a bit of a giveaway though

            I once waited for three hours in a restaurant bathroom for an employee to come and wash my hands before I could eat. I'm lucky I didn't starve to death

                @_the_cloud @aebrockwell @pluralistic that's nice, in the US if you're old and you live where it's unsafe to walk, you just don't leave your house, unless you're rich, than you can pay to have someone drive you around.

                          I remember "POST NO BILLS" in Canada, which would usually be covered in stenciled pictures of well known Bills, such as Clinton, Cosby, and Gates.

                          That was before a lot of things. I suppose we could still leverage Murray and Bruford...
