Even the “wet floor” signs. This picture is from Sunday, when it rained all afternoon. The front patio, which faces P St. and is down a few stairs, looked like it had accumulated nearly an inch of water. But what is that guy supposed to be squeezing? A water bottle? A sponge? At first I wondered why more places don’t have fun “wet floor” signs, but I’m pretty sure that the more you deviate from the standard sign the more likely it is that someone can sue you if they fall. Urbana, throwing caution to the wind.

Update: Wow, I was way off on this one. As a commenter notes, it’s a ballet dancer stretching and holding her pointe shoe! It definitely looked to me like someone squirting something. Still a fun sign, probably more so than I originally thought.

The “guy” isn’t squeezing anything. That’s just muck on the sign.
It’s a ballet dancer (a woman) in pointe shoes, stretching, and is a reference to the line beneath, “Stay on your toes.”
