Commit No Nuisance

Kiwis (that’s what New Zealanders call themselves) seem to love a clever turn of phrase.

This sign caught the eye of many of us sailors; it became a staple on our blogs and Facebook posts. I’m told it’s a euphemism for “Don’t Pee Here.” Some took it as an order, others as a challenge. (And if you want to learn more about the history of public urination, this link will tell you everything you need to know.)
