An unsuspecting driver was crushed by a tree in Dublin last week. Tree devastated by incident; claims “didn’t look both ways before crossing.”
On the streets of Dublin one can observe many construction sites, happy indicators of economic growth (provided the construction hasn’t stalled in today’s economic climate), powerful deterrents against smoothly-flowing traffic, and the bane of tourists seeking unobstructed pictures of famous landmarks. I was however, happy to stumble upon this sign near a construction site entrance:
WATCH OUT! We wouldn’t want anyone to be crushed by a Giant Sequoia or even just hit by some heavy lemon.
Sadly, the crushing incidents have been known to occur at the hands (or is it feet?) of zebras and pelicans. An enquiry has been ordered by the Government while the Opposition party points to it as another wasteful venture of the ruling party. 😉
Ha, nice one. It brings to mind the book Day of the Triffids, sans poisonous spew.
Day of the Triffids eh? I’ll have to give that one a read. Based on the summary of the book it does look like this sign could totally fit into the story.
