Seeing as no-one else is reading through to see if their's is already there
Neither shall I...

In a cubicle at the NEC

Drugs are for losers
But it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts.

Sometimes you just don't need to alter anything. I was in a charity shop somewhere down in the west country, and there was a sign on the wall bemoaning thieves and telling people about the changing rooms all in one go:

'Shoplifters will be prosecuted. Please collect your disc from the till point'

Doing a job in traffic signals occasionally has its ups. There are signs above the main route into Glasgow that can display inspirational messages to the jockanese populous. One of these:

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

Suffered from a hardware failure, and one of the units that makes up three letters of the sign went dark. As a whole, it's supposed to detect this and shut down completely, but on this occasion it didn't. The loss of three letters might not seem to bad, but the local authority was not pleased to see a picture of their lovely new sign showing

DO DRINK AND DRIVE

all over the evening news...

Something similar occurs regularly on the M27. They've just paid god-knows-what to upgrade the overhead signs and communications links along the length of the road. They like to put that money to good use, and display similar inspirational slogans on those signs too. But when they combine the slogans with speed warnings (The flishy flashy ones that say '30' when you're stuck in a queue four miles long) things can come unstuck. A few months ago, I saw

DON'T PHONE
WHILE DRIVING END

The guys in the control room are getting political.

It's amazing the things that'll make you chuckle when you're bored out of your mind...
