a strange sign found amongst the exotic peoples of 'winter.'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter Winter is one of the four seasons of temperate zones. North American calendars go by astronomy and state that winter begins on the winter solstice and ends on the vernal equinox. Calculated meteorologically, it begins and ends earlier (typically at the start of the month with the equinox or solstice) and is the season with the shortest days and the lowest temperatures. Either way, it generally has cold weather and, especially in the higher latitudes or altitudes, snow and ice. The coldest average temperatures of the season are typically experienced in January in the Northern Hemisphere and in July in the Southern Hemisphere.

Signage like this - as helpfully amended - is worthy of a website of its own. Nice side note image.

I realize signs like these are posted to protect the owner from a law suit, but I always find them somewhat funny. Kind of a no brainer. Nicely spotted and captured.

Not sure I completely agree with the emendation. I think the case can be made that some girls, at least, are always slippery.

Girls slippery when wet, indeed! So are boys.
