I come here today to ask you two questions that I believe are integral to the understanding of the human condition.
The first: are wet paint signs truly necessary? After all, few people are likely to touch a wall or a gate for no reason; however, as soon as a sign is placed, people are seized with an overwhelming urge to touch the paint and see if it is, in fact, wet. Does this speak to our natural curiosity, the irony of directions, or a very intelligent, very sadistic signmaker? Or perhaps it balances out-- the amount of people who would innocently lean against a wall while waiting for a bus and get paint on their jackets decrease, while the amount of people who touch a wall and merely get their fingers a little dirty increase. Is it a case of the lesser of two evils?
The second: assuming that there is a human somewhere in this vast and nonsensical universe who managed not to see the sign in time, how does one remove paint from suede?
