Horse 618 - I Saw the Sign

You all know the people I mean: The ones who don't park straight, leave grubby head marks on the train windows, eat smelly food in class, people who stare at you funny, the boring people who rabbit on and on with inane chatter just to fill in their mundane lives.
Well guess what? Mosman Municipal Council has just erected a sign that says:

No Gits or Hobos in This Park

Now it's obvious that it's meant for a wee joke and is probably part of the Mosman Cultural and Arts Festival but wouldn't it be neat it they could legitimately erect and enforce such a sign. Now Mosman isn't renowned for its Hobo population but there are a lot of rather pompous Gits around. Perhaps the idea could be extended?

No Prudes or Snitchnoses - 9:30am - 12:30am Mon - Fri

Silly People and Looneys Only - Sat & Sun

Uglies and Boombahs - One Way

Deranged Keyboard Typers - By Permit Only

It got me thinking about the actual signs that say "No Hawkers and Canvassers" and whether that applies to people who engage in certain types of Falconry and Tentmakers. I marvel at the "No Hard Ball Games" signs and wonder if they mean Pelota and Hurling which are very hard indeed. I'm even thankful that "Alcohol Free Zone" doesn't mean that the council is giving away free schnapps for that might attract the Hobos and the Gits.

But what really gets my goat is the absolute ineptitude of our Police Forces and our Legal System. After all these years and countless sightings of "Bill Posters Will Be Prosecuted", it simply makes me mad that Mr Posters has not been brought to justice despite repeated assurances. He must be an evil evil person I assume... or else a Git and a Hobo.
