It occurs to me, from time to time, that me being about as out as a permit holder gets has certain advantages as well as disadvantages; there's certain questions that just don't come up, and certain issues that are already settled.

All this goes to show the advantages of having a wife/girl friend with a permit!

How about saying "Pest Repellant", technically accurate, yet to the casual eavesdropper non-alarming.

Somehow, this thread drift reminded me of some lyrics of a Bobby Darin song from 1964--"Goodbye, Carlie"
Don't you know lechery
Leads you to treachery
Things boomerang
Someone you trifle with
Pulls out a rifle without a pang
Bang... bang... bang!

If you haven't been blessed with ONE from the start, you have to cultivate, some call it de-program the one you have!

Just like the post office (and federal buildings?), if they cite the law it looks more official. Even if the the sign itself is illegal in the first place (in this case).
I could make something up like "No dogs allowed per S624.714". Of course 624.714 doesn't have anything to do with dogs, but housewives will believe it and spread the word.
