we'll begin at the end

















because of darcy's able and ample shutterbugging, the only time i felt i needed to snap a shot in denver came when i noticed the above sign as he, kyle, dave and i were squaring things away at the hertz rent-a-car in preparation for heading home.

i doubted that the sign's purpose was to direct people's attention to the water fountain it was stationed above, as the bubbler was very much out in the open to begin with.

the only conclusion i was left with, then, was that the sign is intended to instruct, as in, 'this is what people folks do with a water fountain'.

asinine. *

* pointing out the self-evident stupidity of something in explicit terms is a self-evident act and, well, stupid in the same way in and of itself. **

When I was in Nevada a couple years back, there was a sticker on the urinal that read something like "Retained water. Do not drink". Needless to say, I stole the sticker and put it on my notebook.
