Do you ever see a sign and think- that, that’s unnecessary. You read a sign you go, “what? wha- who needs to read that sign? Who’s gonna do that?” I have a theory. If a sign says not to do something… somebody did it. That’s just the way it is, right? N-n-not just one person - a lot of people. They don’t - if you’re thinking why, eh, no- yeah, they don’t just open establishments and go “hey, let’s guess some shit people are gonna do,” no. If a sign says not to do it somebody did it, so now when you see signs, you will appreciate them in a different way. The next time- I’ll give you an example- right after I came to this sort of, uh, theory I saw a sign at the pool, and it said “no diving in the jacuzzi.” Somebody dove into the jacuzzi. “Hey watch Daddy dive into the jacuzzi, kids, everything’s good.” I saw a sign at the gas station, it said “must put nozzle back on pump when through.” And you know my theory, even now as I’m talking about it I wanna go ‘who’s gonna do-’ no. I remember my- “must put nozzle back on pump when through.” That means somebody loaded up with gas, “alright, twenty-five bucks?” [CLUNK] “Uh, sir you have to put the nozzle back on the pump. You gotta put the nozzle back on the pump, sir.” “Oh, I wasn’t sure. My wife said I should….”  -Todd Glass from his album “Thin Pig”
