Semiotics Gone Wild

The top of the sign politely suggests that littering of cigarettes and empty cans is prohibited and the sign below it seems to suggest, at a first glance, where to stow your trash.

I’m ignoring the subtext in the slightly smaller font that says for dog owners to pick up after their dog. Even so, it suggests a need for a one-handed classic catch before the dog’s poop even touches the ground.

Thanks to nateola for this contribution.
