I've often wondered whether people think about their signs myself, Bob. Of course, you never know till you try. I used to have a business name I thought was really good, but many people couldn't even pronounce it.

Now that you mention it, I could have taken an approach like that good Torontonian McLuhan's. The lips and nails certainly fit with his analysis of advertising in The Mechanical Bride.

As José mentioned, Sarah, those ropes could be going to heaven. Maybe that's how the Rapture will work.

Thanks, Keith. As I mentioned earlier, the lips seem like an object of devotion in a shrine to me. Those are a windowcleaner's ropes, and the sign would have said something like "Danger/work overhead/travaux en hauteur" (for some reason overhead danger, wet floor, falling ice, and liquor store signs are the only bilingual signs in Toronto). Of course, those four would make a deadly combination, wouldn't they?
