Default Thought for the week #2

Following on from my last week's ramblings about cats and toast, this week i have come up with a tricky question that has baffled scientists for years! indeed NASA are looking at going to Mars in 2014 to try and find the soloution to this mind boggling question. .....
I thought i'd post it on here as you were all so quick in resolving my last "Thought for the week".............

How do "kEEP OFF THE GRASS" signs actually get on the grass ?????

Have you never seen a helicopter hovering above the grass with someone holding another fella by his ankles as he knocks the sign into the ground.


Now we can lock the thread

Everything baffles NASA.
I mean they spent millions developing a pen for them to write in space (anti gravity and all that)

...why didn't they just use a pencil?

As for the keep off the grass, maybe they used a jet pack.

then what would happen if you were stood at the other end of the grass, you might not see the sign and therefore may step on the grass

Northy is that all you think about lol

and councils wouldn't justify the cost of 2 signs if they can get away with 1

its fairly obvious, maybe I should work for NASA

BEFORE the keep off the grass sign was put in place, there is no reason to keep off the grass, so you simply walk onto the grass and place the sign, then, once you read the sign, you kindly make your way off the grass FOR EVER
