Are we really this stupid? I guess we are, because I have seen this very sign at Quizno's, where this pic was taken, at Chipotle and at Q'doba. So, appealing to logic, I have to say that enough people have tossed their baskets into the basket that the management of the aforementioned restaurants felt it necessary to ask people to remember that the hard plastic baskets are not trash.

This is how dumb we are, I guess. And when you add these instructions to the other kinds of instructions we routinely see -- Coffee is served HOT!, Don't put your hand in the path of a running lawnmower blade etc -- I guess we really are stupid.

Or just careless. Maybe we're just careless. Maybe we didn't try to put our hand on the running blade, just near it. You know, so that we could dislodge that stick that we carelessly ran over that is now stuck between the blade and the mower deck.

I don't know man. But that sign struck me today. I mean, I've never tossed a basket at Quizno's or Chipotle, and I sincerely hope I'm not a big a moron as some of my brethren appear to be. But then again, I keep posting thoughts here on this blog that almost nobody reads. So I'm left to wonder:

If a blog posts on the web and nobody is there to read it, did it make a sound?
