Patrolled By Mower

Under the stop sign is taped a neon-green hand-lettered sign that reads, "Patrolled By Mower." I can't make this stuff up, folks. College Park, MD

Custom-Made Ice Cream Van

Creepy.

This was an aisle in the shoe department of Burlington Coat Factory, Arundel Mills Mall (Hanover, MD).

Handcuff Bike Lock

On the campus of the University of Maryland, some police officers ride bikes, complete with red and blue lights, a siren, and...bike locks made of handcuffs. My accomplice feared I risked arrest taking this shot: she fled the scene.

Too Hot!

I work in a very old historic building in Washington, DC. We have temperature control issues. To track discomfort, a board has been erected outside a conference room for employees to record raw data for subsequent analysis. Somebody clearly had had enough. The yellow Post-it note says, "TOO HOT!"

Steve + Ladder = Pain

I'm incredibly self-reliant. I never ask for physical help. This is a problem. This weekend, I attempted to operate a 32-foot aluminum extension ladder single-handedly. It almost left me single-thumbed. Ouch. I hate seeing my own blood. There was a lot of it. Send sympathy money via PayPal to stevensnodgrass7037@gmail.com . Thank you.

Mad Math Skilz
