Much Ado About Everything

I have a friend – actually two – that like to collect pictures of weird signs around the world. I don’t, but I certainly appreciate funny ones. However, there’s a sign that I found in my neighbourhood that I find so funny that I just have to show it. In fact I planned to show it for at least two years now, but never managed to take a picture.

So, here it is. In a courtyard of a local Chinese mall, there’s a fountain.

And next to the fountain, there’s the sign.

Well, guys… If it’s prohibited, then why is it at your own risk??? Make up your mind – allowed or not??  Looks to me like someone with a weak grasp of English was reading one too many of our stupid, idiotic notices and warnings, and decided that more is better – it’s safer to put two notices rather than just one, no?
