Signs (seen today) and references

Finally, the city has decided to do something against all those noisy people singing in the streets during the night. On Monday they put several signs in the streets showing a baby sleeping and telling : «Hush, Let him sleep during the day like during the night ! Thank you» It has certainly a pedagogical function, but it is perhaps a bit too ambitious, and the message does not seem to be appreciated : 2 days later the baby in my street looks like a mix of Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. In a dark corner of a little street not far from mine, somebody is trying another kind of pedagogy. A sheet of paper on the wall tells «Don’t p*ss here, you would be electrocuted !» It is not funny to smell urine when you open your windows, but why this guy has chosen to live in a house back from the previous one near a street full of bars and pubs ? I do not know if he intended to refer to something with this sign, but it definitely makes me think at «Les Morfalous» a 1984 movie with dialogs by Michel Audiard, the best dialog writer that the French cinema ever had : a man pees in a shell hole in a street and falls dead, electrocuted ; his wife, hmmm, more exactly his widow, tells : «It was the first time that his d*ck was making sparks.» I thought at this not very flattering funeral oration when I saw this sign, and it made me smile. Some interesting signs in you place ?
