……Don’t read signs – Or, if they do, they don’t HEED<\/em> them….. I’m here to offer proof with the help of Prairie Dog Bob<\/strong> (PDB)<\/strong>…..<\/p>\n

As we last heard, PDB<\/strong> was off to Washington<\/em> via his underground network….. Well, he made a quick stop back here to refill his Stainless Steel Flask<\/em> with HE-HWB<\/strong> (High-Explosive Harvey WallBanger)<\/em>….. Just to be sure, he grabbed an extra flask – He knew he was headed into the “Zone of the Unknown”<\/em> – Washington Termites<\/strong> being his target….. I told him I had a couple of VA<\/strong> appointments, and, he immediately jumped at the chance to go along…. “Just to check out the VA’s operation”<\/em>, PDB<\/strong> said…. PDB<\/strong> didn’t want to miss the opportunity to investigate a Government facility….. Now back to the proof…..<\/p>\n

We arrived at the gate, and the guard checked my ID…. He didn’t ask for PD Bob’s<\/strong> ID, but, PDB<\/strong> forced him to look at his UIA<\/strong> (Underground Investigation Authority)<\/em> badge and card…. PDB<\/strong> told the guard, in no uncertain terms, that, “Some rules are there for good reason, and, security tops the list”<\/em>….. I knew it was going to be a lo-o-n-ng day…. NOW, back to the proof…..<\/p>\n

As we entered the building, I noticed some new signs in strategically located places….. They were about 18″x24″ – white lettering on a dark brown background….. The signs read as follows: NOTE: Common Courtesy is REQUIRED<\/strong> “Damn!”<\/em>, exclaimed PDB<\/strong>, “A sign in a Government facility that actually makes sense – I’m friggin’ amazed!”<\/em>….. Remember the title of this post, “People Don’t”<\/strong> – Well, they didn’t…..<\/p>\n

END OF PART I<\/strong> – Stay tuned for Part II<\/strong> of this exciting continuing PD Bob Adventure<\/em> – “PDB meets the VA”<\/strong>…. (Note:<\/strong> As I am still documenting and writing this tale, I can’t say how many parts there will be, and, I am not sure whether I will make it a separate Post or just continue it as Comments to this Post….. As I said – STAY TUNED<\/strong> – The best is yet to come<\/em>)….. (Note 2:<\/strong> In the meantime, feel free to make any assumptions, comments, or questions….. I will answer them – Good, Bad, or Ugly….) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
