Normative Signs: The Poetry of "Ought"

OK, a bit of my own history. This is me (on the left) with my pal Eric Fruhauf, back in the early 90’s. The picture was taken at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, in Vancouver, BC.

What can I say? The sign is clear. But we were in our 20’s, and it was just too tempting. Naturally, we didn’t go far past the fence the sign was on, and certainly nowhere near the genuinely-dangerous dropoff you can see in the background.
