I couldn’t help but laugh when I spotted this sign outside of the town hall in Exeter, New Hampshire, where I attended a wedding this past weekend. I can’t tell if the message is to be careful when you are smoking, lest you be caught, or that non-smoking could be a punishable offense.
It reminds me a bit of a parental admonition, “Don’t let me catch you doing that again,” and the teenager’s response, “Don’t worry, you won’t catch me again.”

“Don’t let md catch you” = “it’s ok”
Sadly this irony is so true.
That sign looks awfully beat up. People in that part of the “Live Free or Die” state must not care for the message.
I love signs like these where someone didn’t quite think them through.
LOL! Also Exeter was the place of one of the most famous UFO abduction stories….Barney and Betty Hill… 🙂
