I have official looking warning notices about my truck's engine mounted on the sun visors. It states "Due to breathing problems experienced by females when this truck accelerates rapidly, removal of constricting clothing is strongly recommended." The international circle with the slash for "no" covers a picture of a bra.

We have a local station that is very poorly designed. It is barely fit for an SUV to get around, with the car wash and C-Store and 9 gas pumps. It has 2 Diesel lanes and we have a large local 2 million sq. ft. GAP warehouse, so lots of semis come and go. You could shoot a full season reality TV show there in just one day. If the owner spoke English I would volunteer to be an "Island Cop" on the weekends just to be able to bust the idiots. But then again...............

You can't fix stupid.
