Things thatmake you go Hmmmm

[RadicalModerate]

There are some things that should have to be said. I saw a sign on a chain-link fence around a pit in Medicine Park that read, "Open Pit Ra Sewage Lagoon - No Swimming or Fishing". Why would they even have to add that second part unless they caught people swimming and fishing in it?

It's for the same folks who need to have an Official Warning on a bag of peanuts that the contents of said bag contain peanuts.
(as if they could or would read)
Well . . . isn't it? Dang. =)

ps to JTF: did you actually intend to say "shouldn't" rather than "should" in the first sentence, above?
i'll bet there's some grammer Nazis a-walkin' around town, in Vian, with the Indian Confederates discussin' that very question. =)

You know somebody had to be doing one or the other for them to put that on a sign.

Poteau, Oklahoma.

Is this the best--or the worst--in political correctness, diversity and/or inclusiveness?

It just occurred to me that the most "[obscurely] ironic" part of all that is the fact that the sign was posted in the vicinity of "'Medicine' Park" . . .
(the ancient inhabitants of this part of our 'fair (liberty-dedicated) nation" are probably laughing still. on account of when they said 'magic' it sort of translated to 'medicine'. roughly.)

For those who aren't aware of the geography of Oklahoma, Medicine
Park is on the west side of the state and Poteau is on the east part of
the state.

By the way, Poteau has a wonderful Drive In. Very, very good!

One of the few Drive-Ins left in the state. If I remember correctly it's tied in with the walk in theatre.

Wouldn't Medicine Park be closer to the LawtonSprawl? That is, technically, more SSW as compared to W?
Next time we have the opportunity to re-visit Poteau we are--for sure--going to drive to the top of Cavanal (Hill).

Edited to Add: People, including youth pastors, sort of make fun of Poteau. Poteau is very close to perfection. Perhaps Poteau needs a "light-rail" and some sidewalks? Perhaps not.

Well . . . That didn't make much sense . . . dang. =)

As an alternative to the Drive-In, in Poteau, there was this place:

Almost made me go, Hmmm, for a moment, yet we trusted in the recommendation of the young lady tending the counter at our MobileHotel of Choice, and found that her suggestion was flawless.

Hmmmm (are these people working for the department of Tourism and Recreation of "Oklahoma" ;r "Anti-NewUbanites" r' whut

Suffice it to say that what hits the plate in Poteau is at least as good as Ingrid's. =)
