It cracked me up! What I want to know is, is there someone who stands around and enforces the 3 minute rule?<BR/><BR/><BR/>iBlowfish: I agree. You'd have to be pretty dumb to mess this one!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Josy: Getting run over by a cement truck would have been a really bad day!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mirage: Peligro is one of the first Spanish words I ever learned! It's a fun word.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Julie: They don't print signs in Australia in English and Maori? (Or am I confusing you with NZ?) Bilingual signs are fun!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Kim: Thanks! It's not often I see a bilingual sign around here, but when I do it reminds me of living in the Bay Area. The neighborhood where I shot this is predominately Hispanic/Latino/Dominican.<BR/><BR/><BR/>John: They could probably add an Ethiopian language, along with Tagalog and maybe French. It would certainly make it more interesting if they did!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Petrea: Are you sure? ;-)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Marley: Yes, it is. Although, your signs are far more polite than ours. We're a bit brusque over here!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Ham: Sometimes it does. In this case, though, the idea of hot tar or steel beams falling on me was enough to keep me on the street side of the fence!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>THANKS to everyone who stopped by and left a comment today! It was great fun visiting each of your blogs and seeing your interpretations of this month's theme.
