Broken: Parking violation sign
Lauren sends in this picture taken in an airport parking garage, and notes: "Maybe they are trying to cheer you up after realizing your car is gone?"
Sounds like a card you'd get in monopoly, y'know? "Car towed. Find $50 in the empty parking space." At least that was my gut reaction.
Hey...the last line of the sign is missing!
Should read "...and find $50.00 MISSING FROM YOUR POCKET AFTER YOU PAY US"
broken.
should say something like "violators will have their CAR towed!" or maybe it doesnt matter, i know thats not the point...nevermind
That's great! I would love to find $50!! I could think of a few people who would be happy to get rid of their junk and find $50 in its place.
da: I agree, I certainly don't like the idea of being forcibly pulled out of my office or the store and towed anywhere. Even if I find $50 as a result, that certainly can't come close to covering my hospital bill. :)
Perhaps the violators themselves will be towed to a location where $50 is available to them.
SWEET!!!!!!!!!
Funny. Like the more common signs that say "Fine for littering" I see this often and wonder if that means it is ok to litter here?
Was this sign in the U.S. or could this be engrish?
This is one of several identical signs in the New Orleans Airport parking garage. Taken last month.
[sarcasm]
NOT BROKEN! This was probably made by some poor guy in prison! Imagine the emotional truama he's experiencing! Give him a break and let him make a mistake every now and then! My goodness, you insensitive clods!
[/sarcasm]
Sorry, Katie. The tempatation was just too much. :)
> Touching electric rail is illegal
> Violators will be fined
should read
Touching electric rail is illegal
Violators will be found
Amazing that this sign had to pass through at least a dozen people before it was mounted. Makes you wonder just how educated the project manager is for this airport? BTW, which airport is this at?

The violators don't get towed. Their cars do.
But hey, at least I get 50$ out of it.
I wonder if they'll pay for my hospital bills...
