@jd I dunno, some of those barefoot pets are smokin hot! I'd let them in the building ...

[root42@chaos.social]

@jd puss not-in boots.

[markusdel@ieji.de]

@jd What kind of Animals living around this House? Are they able to read the sign?

[recalcitrant@autonomous.zone]

@jd why is foot singular

[the_wub@mastodon.social]

@jd So, when do I get your kingdom?

[abirks@hachyderm.io]

@jd Behind every sign there is a story

[uint8_t@chaos.social]

@jd I know multiple entities like that (smoking barefoot pets)

[davidm_yeg@beige.party]

@jd

That’s very … specific

[xeno@snug.moe]

@jd at least they put the space in "bare foot"

so you can smoke anything except foot pets that are bare

[kura@hai.z0ne.social]

@jd@ottawa.place aren't all pets barefoot? and why would you smoke them? also smoke as in cigarette or smoke as in huge smoker?

[holliek72@mastodonapp.uk]

@jd Taking a cue from whoever proofread the signs in our shopping centre, I propose it should be:

Smoking.
Bare Foot
Pets,
Prohibited
In Building

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@jd

indeed. i think smoking any kind of pet, regardless of footwear, shouldn't be allowed or condoned.

[jfmezei@cosocial.ca]

@jd Pardon my ignorance of English here.

Are we talking about
-smoking pets as in smoked meat (the act of smoking then as a food preparation method) ? or
-Pets that emit smoke after they were involved in a accident/explosion?
-Or Bugs Bunny smoking a cigarette/cigar?

[chris@mastodon.mihalis.net]

@jd it’s a funny sign but c’mon you know precisely what this sign intends to express. The misunderstanding is only if you insist.

[esreicht@mastodon.social]

@jd I gave up on smoking barefoot pets after I had to vomit last time.
Darn barefoot pets!

[number6@fosstodon.org]

@jd

Fortunately my emotional support goldfish doesn't have feet. You have no idea how long it took to teach him how to smoke.

@jd

We had a problem in Ludlow (UK) a few years ago. The council put up signs saying

"No parking enforcement in operation"

and then started ticketing people for parking. I think they ended up cancelling a lot of the tickets.

[yacc143@mastodon.social]

@jd
Why, do you have a curious smoking fetish?

[hikingdude@mastodon.social]

@jd
I'm confused
Are smoking animals disallowed or is it disallowed to smoke animals?

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@jd

"oh yeah? whatcha gonna to do about it?"
