No Pipe Smoking?

[ichbinmuede]

A sign in presumably a park in Croatia or Bosnia. I'm not sure which but a friend put the picture up on Facebook so I figured I just had to share it with you folks here.
Why so specific? I wonder.

Must be new since Joe Stalin smoked a pipe. Of course, that may be the reason.

 

[ichbinmuede]

Or heck maybe it's just "No Smoking" and there are more pipe smokers than cigarette smokers in those places. Which would be unusual but the sign is already unusual.

If a Bear cant even smoke pipe in the woods...well, you know what's next!

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

Makes me want to pull out a shotgun on the sign...

What damage could a pipe do? People throw cig butts on the ground. Unless it is soooooo dry they dont want the wind blowing embers from the pipe to catch fire. SEE, THATS WHY THE GOONS ARE OUTLAWING SMOKING EVERYWHERE AND RAISING TOBACCO PRICES, WE KEEP MAKING EXUSES FOR THEM. To hell with'em. I will smoke my pipe anyway.

I was going to say the same thing bootleg!
I wonder if it has something to do with the ability to recognize a pipe as a smoking instrument?

I'm with Bootleg.

Maybe I'm too "city" for you, bootleg & bubba (you too Kevin) :nana: , but I'd just pull out my trusty hack saw and cut the damned thing down. Take it home and put it on my wall. Then I'd get some of those stick-on letters and put, "...unless you share your tobacco" underneath. :lol:

Looks like a great landmark to have your photo taken at while smoking a bowl of your favourite tobacco!

 

[marmal4de]

See, I read that as, don't leave a lit pipe unattended...

Cup half full, as it were.

 

[lordnoble]

LOL! Awesome, Paul! I like the way you think!

Thats funny. Maybe there is one guy in particular they dont like, and he's a pipe smoker.

They couldnt just put his picture on the sign, so they banned his pipe instead?

 

[jaybird]

Maybe the pic was taken in China? Maybe a problem with men urinating in the woods?

 

[uberam3rica]

all no smoking signs ive seen that have a picure in it has a cigarette on it, not a pipe which makes that sign rather odd

 

[seanz]

No its telling casper the aromatic ghost to not hide in peoples pipes :nana:

 

[baronsamedi]

Maybe it's just bent pipes. Maybe a straight pipe is OK.

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

Maybe it's just bent pipes. Maybe a straight pipe is OK.

And apparently none that hang to the left...
I'm screwed...

Ack, I hope not, I'm a left side clencher as well!!!! Time to break out the straight pipes.
