This gem of a Sunday Silly Sign was actually a photo I took on a Sunday. That was yesterday, right about noon, local Japan Standard Time (JST).
The photo was shot inside one of the UNECSO World Heritage Castle Parks. I zoomed-in nice and close so I could crop out all the fancy Japanese writing. I don't get paid to translate that stuff. So, I don't.
The sign looks fairly self-explanatory, to me. But, you never know. It may be confusing to some people.
I figured it meant something like, No Dogs Allowed and some other stuff. Silly me.
As I was leaving the park, some gal was walking her dog up the hill, right past at least two of these signs. She was a local so, I figure she can read the bold print on the things.
It was a humongous dog, too. I don't reckon the dog was a seeing-eye-dog or anything like that because she let the critter off his leash.
Maybe, they just don't want little puppies running around inside the castle park and full grown Rotweillers, Great Danes, German Shepherds and Huskies are OK with the folks at UNESCO.
Something must be lost in my translation. Now, I'm starting to wonder if I guessed wrong as to what that is behind the puppy. It could be some kinda chocolate chip candy or soft ice cream cone UNESCO doesn't want people bringing in their parks.
If you are anything like me and don't like little puppies or kids running around your yard littering the lawn with chocolate kisses, go ahead, download and print this Sunday Silly Sign and post copies all over your property. That's what I think I'll do at my house. After all, man's home should be like, some sorta castle !
