An imagined conversation between two neighbours who never normally converse:

- Hey, look at this dumb sign.

- Yeah, that's a stupid idea.

- It makes me mad.

- Me too. I'm gonna write to the council and complain.

- Yeah - what a waste of taxpayer dollars.

- Too right.

- See ya, stranger.

- See ya.

Has the sign worked as intended, or not, I wonder?
