or learn to read to begin with

At least it wasn’t frozen yet.

“And the sign says “Long-haired freaky people need not apply”

So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why

He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you’ll do

So I took off my hat, I said “Imagine that, huh, me working for you”

Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs

Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind

Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign

And the sign says “Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight”

So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house

Hey! What gives you the right!

To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in

If God was here, he’d tell it to your face, man, you’re some kind of sinner

Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs

Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind

Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign

Oh, say now mister, can’t you read

You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat

You can’t watch, no you can’t eat, you ain’t supposed to be here

And the sign says “You got to have a membership card to get inside” – uh!

[Solo]

And the sign says “Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray”

But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all

And I didn’t have a penny to pay

So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own fu++in’ sign

I said, “Thank you Lord for thinking ‘bout me, I’m alive and doing fine”, oh

Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs

Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind

Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign

Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs

Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind

Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign"

Maybe he thought that the water just wasn’t very sophisticated

Shallow: applies to the water and the characters.

If I were shallow, I wouldn’t have a sign to advertise the fact. Or maybe I would.

He thought it applied to you and not to the water. Deceptive signage.

Eh he not know signs was invented yet.

How do you think Jesus walked on water?

He needs Clumsy’s spectacles…….

Why read when you can sue someone instead?

He learned a valuable lesson: never enter waters of unknown depth by diving headfirst into them. Unfortunately, his concussion means he won’t remember the lesson.

Or read the tidal schedule better.

Don’t forget to read the portents as well.

or look b4 you leap.

Location of the sign is a “set up”!

Dead Sea…It looks incredibly shallow. You see everyone standing in waist deep water. Once you get your feet under you, (it’s hard!) you just bob there like you are standing on rocks, or in shallow water.

The sign is only readable when you are in the water, Curls.

only if it didn’t just show up after he jumped in. :L

“Crunge”, that went over like a lead balloon.

He expected Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper to be there.

C5.

Crunge? Love it!

I used to work for the VA on a Spinal Column Injury ward. You’d be appalled at how many people end up paralyzed from the neck down because they dove into shallow water head first. Never do that.

I see that nothing has changed in 10,000 years.

Walk it off Peter, what? Whadaya mean you can’t move your legs?

Stand aside, here come the ambulance chasers. Clearly there should be signs all along the paths to the water.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign….

Ya gonna arrest him?…

You’d think he’s swam there before, since it’s right outside his cave

signs, signs, everywhere are signs; blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind; Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign? ♬

Always feet first the first time!

Probably should have had the sign ….. on land …… “BEFORE” the water …… :)

My cousin and I went to our favorite rope swing in Kisatchie creek the beginning of one summer, and there was a group of girls all in what looked like shoulder high water. Being the testerone driven juveniles that we wee, we decided to use the bluff and cannon ball right in the middle of them. Turns out a sandbar had built up there over the winter, and they were all sitting in the shallow water. It took two weeks for the swelling to go down in the knees.
