6/17/08 Poor Punctuation and Grammar

This sticker was in the SuperShuttle that I took to the airport to leave Texas and head back to Maine. I'm being very careful not to call either of them home right now, though I really feel like they're both home. Anyway, this sticker cracked me up because I doubt seriously that this is "a" law as in one law. This is bound to be two laws. Additionally, the slash mark is generally used between two words or phrases that mean the same thing or can be substituted for each other. "No Smoking" and "Fasten Seat Belt" have nothing to do with each other. We won't even get into the lack of parallel structure.
