From Eastern Canada: sign at the crest of a hill, just before the highway

down a long grade and, as it levels out, becomes the main street of a small

Please drive carefully. We have no hospital.
Methinks such warnings are extremely effective.
I am inclined to write such things and sometimes take flack for it from folk
who consider either the bluntness or the levity 'unprofessional'. I consider
anyone who thinks that clueless.
