I may seriously have to bid on that
And if I win it, I'm going to mount it on my truck and drive around wearing this T-shirt:

Hey now...I tend to use the sharp edges one as my avatar alot. Mostly because if you really know me, my wit has a slight tendency to match the sign.

Re: Is this sign really necessary?
Now that we have had our fun, there is a use for that sign (No illegal activities allowed on premises).
Owners of businesses can be cited for operating a public nuisance and shut down for tolerating illegal activity. Motel operators are particularly susceptible to this fate, if they overlook prostitution and drug dealing on their premises.
I have seen signs like this on fleabag motels. I don't know whether they do any good for the motel owner, if he doesn't take further action to curb illegal activity.

Prosecutors, specifically. The business owner is trying to establish that he is making a good-faith effort to curb illegal activity.SmoothFox wrote:In other words...........lawyers
I don't know if the signs do any good, but people post them.
