I called and e-mailed these to the owner. THANKS, all! [Applause] Now we just need to decide which one. The owner had an idea too....something about Mickey Mouse and him extending a finger?... [Wink]
I don't want to get into problems with Disney so I think we will pass on that one!

I once saw a tombstone in front of a business with the legend: "Here lies the last salesman who parked in Wayne's spot".

A friend has a sign reading, in descending size of copy for each successive line:

"Unauthorized Vehicles
Will be Towed Away
and Crushed Into
a Tiny Cube"

There is a little tiny square at the bottom of the sign.

I'd mix up some white tempra color, and splatter it liberally within and around the parking spot in question. Then put up a sign that reads:
CAUTION: Bird**** Target Area. This zone is a designated wildlife practice area, and vehicles parked here will be shat upon from various heights!

If some unbeliever should chance to park there, splatter his car & windshield with more of that same tempra white. Guaranteed they'll never repeat the offence. [Wink]

No parking, violators will be persecuted.

No parking, violators will be violated.

Please don't park here, we don't like calling the tow truck.
