Talk about stating the obvious!

We’re having a lot of wet weather, and the soil around here is heavy clay, and there has been a lot of forestry work going on involving heavy machinery. Put those things all together and the outcome is fairly predictable. So this sign spotted in the woods did seem to be stating the blindingly obvious. I guess it’s a health a safety requirement or something!

Did you ever play the game 'stuck in the mud' as a child?

@DaddyEvil It's one of those games which is a variation of 'tag'. One person is 'it' and they then tag other players. Any tagged player is frozen in position but they can be released by another player who is still free if they crawl between their legs/ give them a high five/ tap them on the shoulder (it varies; whatever has been decided at the start).

That's funny!!! But you are right, a requirement to safeguard them from idiots getting hurt and making claims against them.

Unless you were too short-sighted to see the sign until you were already in the mud!

Looks like the kind of mud that sucks your boots off your feet.
