Morning!
What would you do if you were handed a pamphlet to ban water? Laugh hysterically…or sign like the folks did below?

Enjoy,
Barbara

Oh wow, I’d like to say that’s unbelievable, but it’s not. Most people are simply joiners. When I lived in Washinton, DC I was constantly asked to sign all of sorts of things as I walked down the street.
