  1. English humor, i love it 🙂

  2. Oh, thats just too good! 😉

  3. I love signs like this!

  4. Hi there could you possibly contribute to http://www.flickr.com/groups/healthandsafety/ your help would be greatly appreciated!

  5. Fabulous! Amazing how many comments you’ve gotten on this one.

  6. Maybe theres a chance of touching them and surviving, if you do you have to pay the fine.

  7. Badison, you surely mean… Ho ho ho! 😉

    M´xmas!

  8. oh amazing ..I was the 27,206th viewer on this Christmas of 2005!

  9. one more view – simple, funny, great…

  10. This is funny, I can’t stop laughing. Do they go through your pockets after you’re dead?

  11. This is a great find. Well done.

  12. Rational of the sign:
    considering that presumably everyone has been taught by their parents and other adults to never touch electricity, few people would actually think of touching an electric wire in a subway. I expect that a fine would be for those who venture too close.

    Humour of the sign:
    considering that everyone loves a good laugh, it does not really matter if the sign is real or fake. Would you question the logic or veracity of what you would see or read in a comic strip? The point of posting the photo of this sign is to make us laugh.

    I am the 29465th person to get a good laugh!

    Thanks Steve and Jamis and whomever else is involved.

    True or a hoax, the effect is very hillarious !

    Success!

  13. I wonder what happens if you just pee on the wires.

  14. Oh, that’s just a urinary track infraction

  15. LOL!!!

    From which you might get a

    myocardial infarction

    :(……..:(

    But if you touch the wires, your heart will probably go into

    ventricular fibrillation… 🙁

  16. good grief — everybody and their mama has looked at this — including me LOL
    i just wanted to say that instant death is a WEE bit more of a deterrent than a 200 buck fine

  17. Truly classic! Try to take $200 from me and some one’s gonna die 🙂

  18. For something that serious the fime should be greater.

  19. Oh! How I love this sign and it’s caption! Brilliant!

  30. You scored 5/5 on the Funny Meter at http://www.flickr.com/groups/howfunnyami/.

    An amusing (if slightly sad) look at how PC this crazy world has become in the past few years. Unfortunately we only have ourselves to blame for sueing everyone in sight for what used to be called "an accident"

  31. which is worse the fine, dwath or Newcastle…You scored 5/5 on the Funny Meter at http://www.flickr.com/groups/howfunnyami/.

  32. Well, considering that I laughed for several minutes, kept coming back to read it again so I could laugh some more, read it to everyone who was patient enough to listen to me AGAIN, and then chuckled quietly for several more minutes… I’d say this one’s a winner.

    Seen in How Funny Am I? Score it! (?)

  33. And, with that, I’ll just add that even without my rating, this one was a shoo-in for the Hall of Funny. So, CONGRATULATIONS, your "stunning" Funny Meter score of 23 has earned you a well-deserved spot in the Hall of Funny. Please bring this photo by http://www.flickr.com/groups/halloffunny and request membership. You’ll be able to post it in a place of honor. Nice work!


    Seen next to a fellow photo of How Funny Am I? Score it!. (?)

  34. This is too funny. The officials who created this sign should be fined $200. I love this photo.
