Please Keep Off The Grass

Hold it! This is not a rant on the Minnesota Legislatures recent legalization of medical marijuana. While the  nation clearly faces many serious problems, judging by the number of ignored signs I have seen warning people not to tramp on lawns, thereby damaging the grass,  that issue is clearly one of them. Most of these courteous warning signs appear to be totally in vain. Based on personal observation, one state has definitely gone a long way toward solving this serious problem.

Typical ineffective signs:


Based upon numerous recent observations, it appears that Montana does have a sign that gets peoples attention.

Why even Mrs. Troutbirder stayed on the sidewalk!

  3. For a moment there I thought the word 'please' played a part in keeping folk off the grass. Rattlesnakes... my word. I would obey to the letter if I saw that sign.
