When gawking at the splendors of Yosemite last Saturday, I took my eyes away from the mountains for an instant and found this sign to add to my collection:
I'm assuming that quite a few tourists must concientiously dispose of their trash in this large metal box that looks a lot like a bear-proof dumpster. I would think that if this was a problem, someone might think to put a big sign on it that said something like "ICE!" -- maybe with a discrete graphic of an ice cube for good measure (a lot of the park's visitors speak foreign languages).
Instead, it was obviously up to some long-suffering park employee who'd had it up to here cleaning out picnic leftovers from the ice chute to do something about the situation. So he or she printed out this plea on their computer and taped it above the opening where the ice comes out. The three exclamation marks following "Please" speak volumes. Here's a close-up so you can see the smaller writing underneath. One senses the implied "you moron" that they longed to add at the end.
