Signs

As I rode past the building site a worker scowled at me “Can’t you read the bloody sign”

(the sign says “Dismount Your Bicycle in Work Area.” As if.)

I said “What fucking sign?”

He says “The fucking sign that says you can’t ride through here.”

I say “Mate I can’t read every fucking sign in the world, there’s millions of them. I wouldn’t do anything else if I did.”

What is is about Australia that every time someone or some government department wants to control the world around them, they feel justified enough to annoy others with yet another bloody sign.
