[sac-board] MM "slow down" signs....

Hey All you bored people, 

Just talked to my freinds at Express Sign.  Seems that our best bet for cost is 
to buy the corrugated plastic signs and hand write whatever on them.  I can 
probably get about 4~5 signs for around $20, not including the Sharpie.  
Or even cheaper, I can get some cardboard and do the same thing, but it'll look 
like ca-ca.

But, this raises questions.  Would it be desireable and beneficial to pay out a 
little more for a couple of more permanent metal signs?  I can hit Realty Sign 
Co. and pick one or two up fairly reasonably, but would Mr. Farnsworth object 
to this?  Does the bored object to this?  

If we make our own signs, I would request that someone with good handwriting do 
the writing, 'cuz my handwriting sucks, and might even be misintrepreted.  
Also, what should these signs say?  Should we do like the old Berma shave ads  
(If you go too fast......in your car......the other astronomers.....will beat 
you 'til you see stars), or maybe something more Karmatic, (May the dirt of a 
thousand duststorms find your mirror if you drive over 5 mph.)  I need some 
ideas, even if they are a little more direct.  (Dust and optics don't mix, 
please drive SLOWLY)

I will need to get these to someone going out on that Friday, as I won't be 
there until that Sat.

"In what was facetiously called 'the Univeristy of the Far East',
the better-educated officers lectured enlisted men in history, 
French, and biology.  Astronomy was the most popular class of all.  
Lying on their backs beneath the Southern Cross, the POWs followed
the course of the stars and planets, bathed themselves in meteor 
showers, and took their minds off this world by contemplating others."
