Really?














Is the pile of poop behind the dog really necessary?

*Among about 20 signs in the park, this is the ONLY one with a picture.

  2. Rather, the should have simply put a pile of poop. Cuz they aren't saying your dog can't poop, just that the poop is not welcome to remain.

    Haha! I think it's funny that you took a picture of the sign -- I'd do the same :]

  5. I love how you have a label for "poo" :)

    *That* is funny!

  7. English must not be everybody's first language. You need the "graphic" picture, I guess...

  8. Bailey - Yeah, it might have confused people otherwise.

    Ronnica - Exactly, perhaps it should have just been a picture of poop with someone walking away from it.

    Verygoodyear - That is hysterical!

    Christy - I love that there are actually contours to the poo.

    Maternal Mirth - What's sad is how many entries there are that accompany said label.

    Jennifer/Mike - You know, I thought that, but I'm pretty sure that POOP is pretty well understood by non-readers and other language speakers. Like, I know the word for poop in about 7 languages. Also, there are about a hundred signs in this park, this is the ONLY one with a picture.

  9. Ewwww....

    My favorite sign is of the teeter totter which is supposed to indicate a park nearby, but I always shout out "Look out! Teeter totter crossing!!"

    Oh, and we have a sign near a retirement home that has 2 people on it. One is hunched and uses a cane and another is walking in an elderly fashion, if one can do so in such a 2 dimensional sign... Quite humorous.

  11. Guess it's there for those visually minded people who won't or don't read?

  12. Yes I totally think it's necessary. Cause it might be someone who doesn't speak English, and might think the sign is saying your dog can't squat or crouch. ;)

  14. Well some folks are illiterate or cannot read English. And as Kelly said - it is just plain funny!

  15. Ha! I love it! Some people can't read, you know. They need to be just as responsible to clean up their dog's poop! Just sayin'!

  16. Ohhh, man, you have no idea! After seeing signs in England that not only showed the poop, but included steam lines, my family has made a point of documenting graphic signs, of which the most common are ones like this.

    So at least the insanity is widespread, right?
