Anyone seen this for real?

Hi,

Is this sign the real thing or just someone's fertile imagination and Photoshop?

Hi,

Looks like it's stuck to the outside of the glass, if it were a real notice I would say it would be on the inside and the ACLU would be lined up outside waiting for opening time.

Ha-ha, is that where it is..?
Seen it on several aviation sites and thought it was something a church had put out next a an air force base or something....

Here is a link, scroll down a bit:

http://www.eaa10.org/Newsletter/2008/07/index.html

And a quote from the link...Useful info..

Quote:
A recent study conducted by Harvard University found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study by the American Medical Association found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. This means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind Of Makes You Proud To Be An American.

DK about the sign, but the ordinance seems to be real.

I recall seeing these often in Japan. I traveled to and from a fair bit in my software days. Japan, Korea, and Mainland China.

In S. Korea, it is normal to straddle the head and face the wall. Keep in mind, the head is only about 8" wide. Not like the typical fishbowl of a head we find elsewhere in the world.

Where's Cold Spring Harbor? Just kidding, former Long Island guy myself. Great boating up there and around Long Island Sound. Our friends at the local cable company still do the big fireworks spread on July 4th?

They still do it quite big-time. Invites about a 1000 of his closest friends for lobster and fireworks Half hour, spectacular show. But we all get to help finance the party with our individual cable bill
