Caution: Do Not Cut Your Butt on the Saw!

The other week, I visited Universal Studios, in sunny Los Angeles, CA. This sign's meaning would only be obvious, if it were used at the specific location where I found it...on an escalator. Of course, my twisted mind imagined how funny it would look to post this in a woodworking shop, on the side of a saw indicating, "Caution: Do Not Cut Your Butt on the Saw!" Or possibly, every parent should have one of these to remind their children, "Unless You're a Toddler, Don't Come Down the Steps Like This!" Maybe this sign could have another practical use at a public pool stating, "No Cannonballing!" Whatever the message of the sign, be sure its placement is congruent with the message. This will insure there is always a universal interpretation. Good signs aren't just pretty, they state the message so that everyone understands it the same.
