Buckle Up

The three signs below are all aiming for the same outcome - buckle up
Each message takes a different approach to achieve that desired behavior. 

1. Referencing the lifesaving benefits of wearing a seatbelt probably speaks to riders who believe road travel is in fact dangerous and they should buckle up to avoid the possibility of death. 


2. Referencing the law informs law-abiding riders that it is in fact a law. 


3. Referencing the punishment for breaking the law seeks to inform riders that if you don't wear your seatbelt you can get a ticket of at least $142. This probably speaks to riders who are cost conscious.

Describe your perfect date



"That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket."

Shakespeare quote

Tomorrow, April 24, 1564, we commemorate William Shakespeare's 460th birthday. 

Shakespeare quote of the day...

"An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made."

This was from the extended cut of Shakespeare's director commentary. 
He was really ahead of his time. Above is the modern English version. Here is what he actually said...

An ssl 'rr'r hast did occur and a secureth connection to the s'rv'r cannot beest madeth.  fie! cometh h're and englut mine own coxcomb thee distemperate blinking idiot
