In aviation, there is a thing called RCR or Runway Condition Reading. It is a measure of how slippery the runway is due to snow or ice or other covering. It is used to compute stopping distance on landing.
One day we were flying into the Philippines and the RCR at Clark Air Base was 5: icy!
The other covering, in this case, was rice bugs. Rice bugs are like cockroaches except bigger, much bigger and on steroids. They also swarm at certain times of the year. There where huge black patches of them on the runway.
A squished rice bug is as slippery as “sour owl shit” which for some reason is the “standard” for slipperiness in the aviation community.

Slippery when covered with banana peels? Like we need a sign to tell us that!

But if they didn’t have the sign some bozo would skid off into the weeds and sue because you didn’t warn him.

Banana peels are like musical notes. You have to C sharp or B flat….

I remember showing the kids a warning on a jar of peanuts, “CAUTION: May contain peanuts”

Add a little oil from leaking vehicles and you got yourself an adult Slip n Slide.
