This reminds me of Irish comedian Dylan Moran at the Edinburgh Festival in the 90s, before he was famous. Semi-famous. He was decoding the emergency exit signs in the theatre: “First: cut off hands and feet, then head down stairs.”

I love you, Vancouver. Environmentalist David Suzuki, University Chair Andrew Petter, Activist Jim Green and other Vancouver luminaries in a funny & also really touching PSA.
RIP Jim Green, defender of the poor, a Vancouver icon, one of the greats.

New York City’s Dept of Transportation commissioned artist James Morse to produce these lateral, funny, thought-provoking haiku signs. They are designed to alert pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to the unexpected on the road.
