Signs of Life

Signs and signage are an inevitable part of life. From the humble "keep off the grass" to rococo variants that confuse more than they inform. Of course, there are web sites devoted to some of the more bizarre specimens that are out there. Most of the specimens pinned down in these sites are, I assume, genuine. But now, there’s a new variant, the sign designed for a humorous or ironic metacomment. These are available in a new book published this month. One for the stocking, I think.
