I love the whimsy Seamus,

But there is a tell-tale shadow of you which prompts the question, what sort fo camera are you using held down low like that?

Cheers,

You got me, Walter. To answer the question, Fuji X Pro1. As you noted, the whole idea was to have a bit of fun with these signs in, by any chance, your city?

In Brisbane, I am probably classified as a 'Mexican', but it is only Sydney, not Melbourne.

The Daily Telegraph, one of the UK's main newspapers, has a long-running feature of "amusing" signs sent in from all over the world. Some are merely funny because Brits love laughing at foreigners who no speak English good; some (such as the first one in the current crop, here (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/9658782/Sign-Language-week-229.html)) are mystifying and some I confess I fail to understand. Worth a look, anyway.

This was technically taken on a street. I think there's nothing like supplementing an appeal to people's good nature with a threat.
