Sorry to post two non bike related threads, this one just arrived in my inbox. I have seen it at least 10x or more, it never fails to move me.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Wow! Pete Townsend sure has fallen on hard times, eh?!



Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

It's a great clip.I've seen it before and although I feel I shouldn't find your post funny Dwight,I seem to have the same twisted sense of humour,or humor if you prefer, as you do so

While I find the concept interesting, I doubt it's authenticity.
I do believe that words count probably more than we know or can understand, and that changing the sign would have some affect.
Humans are generally pretty selfabsorbed in their daily goings on, so I doubt that very many would notice the sign to start with.
Sorry to rain on a parade, but it is time for some cynicism.
