Notes from the Underground

SM reader Cicatrix forwards us this picture (on the left) presumably taken at a Tube Station in London [Via Gawker]. But seriously people. How many of us in a rush to go to work have time to actually READ a sign. I’m not telling Tube workers how to do their jobs but I would have made it into a drawing instead of a note so you could get the gist of it faster. How about something like the one on the right instead?

  1. The one on the left is a hoax – its a joke, it wasnt actually real – someone took a picture of a London Underground board and did the joke – look carefully at the line of the writing and all the rest of it – fake.

  2. still funny, anyways its only for the 26th (all day), we can resume our running now.

  3. Dude. That pistol looks like something Miss Marple might carry. Is that mother-of-pearl-inlay on the handle??

  4. The most shocking thing about the piece is that people who run ‘The Gawker’ go to Queens. But then I remembered PS1. On a related note, the usual band of merrymakers who give thinking liberals a bad name were out protesting Union Square yesterday about illegal search and seizures. Not that most people cared.

  5. Hey, no need to jump Abhi. My bad. I thought it was funny, that’s all. I don’t think it’s real either. (well, I really HOPE not) … I was amused to think that some enterprising young hooligan actually wrote that on a London Underground board.
