Sign of the week: Watch your butt!



A lot of people smoke here in Tokyo. And even more spend a significant portion of their lives waiting for the light to change so they can cross the street. So, this sign is a polite reminder to smokers to avoid holding their lit cigarettes too close to children's heads (a convenient height at which to dangle one's smoke, apparently). I never even thought about the possibility of this kind of accident before, but in the crowds here, I guess it's a real danger.


Some of the signs around here strike me because they seem funny to me; this one seems genuinely smart.

Well Tom, once again you have found the unusual and amusing. You have an eye for that.

Best blog around.
