      I am tempted to fabricate and put up signs saying,

      "Private Sign - Do not read!"

            @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.

              @_the_cloud @pluralistic I remember it, or something very similar, but probably from about 40 years ago, so I've no memory of where it's from.

              @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.

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