Solidarity with Comrade Bill

@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
Is— what's Bill Stickers done?

@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.

@MattMerk @pluralistic my hometown of Somerville, MA, is covered in stickers on utility boxes and so forth. my favorite read
ALL STICKERS
EXCEPT STICKERS
ABOUT STICKERS
BEING PROHIBITED
ARE PROHIBITED

@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.
