Wow. They must have been really attached to their pet fish to put up a sign.
Also seems a pinch of an odd name for a fish… but who am I to say?

They are all over the place.
I suggest they be repainted and relabeled to advertise next summers Salmon BBQ.
Reminds me of a joke:
A burglar breaks into a house, and hears a voice proclaim “Jesus is watching you!”
This unnerves him, and he looks around , only to hear it again, and again.
Finally, to his relief, he realizes the voice is coming from a parrot on its perch.
“Are you Jesus?” he asks with a chuckle.
“No, I’m Samson, replies the parrot.” “What kind of idiots name a parrot Samson?” the burglar chuckles!
“The same idiots who named the Rotweiller Jesus” , the parrot replies.

I know this joke but differently: A burglar breaks into a house and hears a voice proclaiming “Jesus is watching you” The burglar takes a step and again he hears “Jesus is watching you” this goes on for another time finally the burglar flashes his flashlight towards the voice and spies a parrot and asks it “are you Jesus?” and the parrot says nooo, he is. The burglar shines his flashlight in the direction indicated and there sits a huge Rotweiller the parrot says “SICK HIM JESUS!!!”

rick,
>They are all over the place.
Oh. I guess I fail Observation 101, then. I noticed another one at North and Horseshoe today (it says “rest in Jesus”) but I haven’t spotted any others.
One of these days I’m going to go around the place posting signs high up on poles. My signs will say: “I have a ladder, too!”

I’m not all that perturbed by the growing sign infestation, but it truly is a form of pollution. And it’s probably as much of a driving distraction as some other unpopular misdemeanors. Not to mention blocking your vision by the T&T, pedestrian access on the hill, and creating visual chaos by the ferry.
Maybe I am a little perturbed.

Oh dear! After reading Rick’s comment I’m upset. I was just about to put up all my signs saying, “Have a nice day”.

nick –
How about making signs like this one instead? More fun. :-)

I think I’d like signs that simply say, “Don’t forget.” Guaranteed to create mental disturbance in one and all as they immediately start to worry about what they forgot.

skadhu, you can borrow my ladder.
