Truly puzzling isn't it? One would hope there was some reason or logic behind the specific amount of a fine for starting a fire at this lookout point in Los Angeles, CA., where I visited the other week. Maybe they did a study among arsonists and clumsy smokers and determined that their attention threshold was reached at $541? Maybe they mounted a hidden camera by this sign, and no one looked at the sign until it reached $541? Sometimes when you want to drive a simple point home, you need to create some confusion. Whatever the reason, I found it amusing.
To see some of the ways we drive some points home, check out some of our work on our website.
A year ago while in CA, I noticed on "No Littering" signs along the freeways. Every single sign had a different amount of the fine on it! We had 4 people in our car and none of us could figure that out. Some were on the same freeway, so that wasn't it. Countryside, cities on both sides, nope, not that either. No rhyme or reason that we could see. Wish I'd taken pix!
