Ninjas enter whenever and wherever they want. They don't need a sign to tell them. Warning people about entering ninja is also pointless since they will get you no matter what. And that's what I call real ultimate power. I agree with the posters saying that it’s a worthless sign.

Someone removed the reflective coating, in "County," off of the "C" the right half of the "o", and the "y" During the day, the sign appeared as intended but driving along at night, the change was obvious. I have to say I was disappointed when they fixed it after 3 months. Clearly, some devious mind really thought out their vulgar little plan.

Similar signs in Finland just don't have any text at all. <b>Anonymous</b> @5 <i>Reminds me of: Push butt Rub hand gently under arm Stop auto at ally</i> Yes! That one still cracks me up, although the way I saw it was a little different. The original text on the dryer was: 1. Push button. 2. Rub hands under warm air. 3. Stops automatically. (As a technical writer, that last step bugs me. That is SO not a user action!) It was "corrected" to: 1. Push butt 2. Rub hands under arm 3. Stop It’s too bad the signs in the US have the text “do not enter” on them instead of “no entry”. Similar signs in Finland just don’t have any text at all.
