Off Topic: Idiot Sticks at Old Faithful can't read SIGNS

Post by Mike Jackson »

Okay, I know this one is pretty far off topic, but it is pretty close to home for me.

Six guys walked out onto the thin crust at Old Faithful a few days ago. Two of them even urinated into the geyser. There are web cams in quite a few places in Yellowstone, including that spot. Someone on a web site was watching the web cam at home, called the rangers, and they caught and arrested them.

The page linked above has a few of the captured images.

Every year a few foriegners walk out to the edge of the geyser, but you can write that off to some extent because they might not have been able to read the warning SIGNS! :)

Proof of what I tell my customers...there are just some people who do not read signs no matter how much we try.

Web cameras are everywhere. As you know have been into a great many pubs in the UK and they all have a sign that says "CCTV in use" One of the more famous ones is in front of Abby Rd. studios in St. Johns Wood London. Yes.....that Abby Road. You can walk across the zebra stripes to this day and everyone watching will see ya. Glad I didn't take a whizz while there some years ago ;=).......and no....I actually was in the neighbourhood looking for an old pub.
