I had s Soyo Dragon board, lite version, that had this message!! I didn't bother with calling support, for fear of what they might suggest...
Koasati: That sign is more popular than you might think, I've seen a photo of it, not three weeks later while driver through a small Ozark town Lo and Behold...

Particularly among the tow truck drivers called to retrieve vehicles from the river

Every time we would travel when I was a kid, and there was a sign that read "Bump Ahead", my dear old pa would ...you got it. He would reach over and bump my head.

I grew up thinking the "Caution, Slow Children Ahead" on our street was just for me.

So I was about 14 or 15...walking down the street with my best friend, when I see this sign (really happened)...
I said 'Huh. I didn't know there was a deaf person in this block"
He said 'What?'
I said " I did not know there was a deaf person in this block."
He said 'What!?'
I point at the sign, which we were now about to pass and said " I did not know there was..."
Then I punched him in the arm.
Really hard.
I swear.

Because it's a humor thread and has nothing to do with gender discriminations.
Personally i like women, especially the one i'm in a relationship now. 
But at times i like to joke about women and so does she with men. Nothing to worry about, just casual humor.
Also these two are quite unique!

In Australia, we have road signs that say: KOALAS CROSS HERE Still trying to figure why they persist in crossing everywhere else but.....

I always wondered how they managed to have them annoyed there...but not elsewhere....and wouldn't it have been better to calm them down rather than just post a message that they were upset....

Every time I see DRIVE CAREFULLY sign, I am grateful. It could be the very spot where I'd become a crazed and reckless hazard
