First it was a drug free zone, now it's a Prostitution free zone? I had no idea you could get these things for free.

Once they start giving away free beer and half smokes, I will declare this city paradise.

I've always wondered about signs like that. I mean, if a sign says "Drug-Free Zone", does that mean all other areas are riddled with drugs?

I'm sorry, I don't understand why a "prostitute free zone" would require a "warning..." Shouldn't that be a "welcome" sign? Huh??

;o)

It gets even better

The Maryland suburb of D.C. called Takoma Park is 2.3 Square Miles, but has been a Nuclear Free zone (no nuclear weapons) for going on 20 years now.

Only found in areas where the proper palms have not been well greased.

A little edification for those in the hinterlands:

Half Smoke

I have one every time I'm there.

Uh, the half-smoke, I mean.

Wendell, Wendell, Wendell......no. It means that the drugs cost money in all other areas....

Freudian slip??? 😛

They need those anti prostitution signs down at Waikiki beach. They come out at night in droves. It's funny to watch the cops chase them off, though!! 🙂

Like signs that say "Slow children ahead" and why I've never seen any signs that say "Intelligent children ahead".

HMMMMMMMMMM

Well, umm... I didn't witness any of that there. But I did witness the cops stopping right in the middle of the street and taking all alcoholic beverages away from people walking the streets with them. Does that count?? 🙂
