Mountain Lion Safety

if you're this fucked, offer up child as tasty treat.

with your supurb Kung-Fu!

Shout "YMCA!"

Already tried the 'Detach Arm & Offer As Light Snack' not pictured here to no avail.

(thinks)..Disco Dudes do not scare me!

Finally, we Americans have an advantage!

You dont have out run the mountian lion, just the child.

This thing is dead. It hasn't moved since picture No.1.

define "slowly."

Clearly you have none of your own.

...but the stick man came back with his family.

Haha, this is great... i am sure one would have to think extremely hard to figure that out.

Is it just me, or did the sign designer do a little Da Vinci's man thing here before changing his mind?

Advice needed to counter all those fools who for years told people to play dead when attacked by a lion or bear.

Maybe your parents should have done the world a favor and offered you as a tasty treat to some zoo lions.

or maybe jokes are not to be taken literally

don't panic until frame #2...

....now! panic!!

Ah, but my note was intended as a joke too.

nevermind what your chiropractor told you!

Why did the mountain lion cross the sign?

It was looking for some better jokes.

Do not bend, fold or mutilate your children (while you offer them to the lion)

if not chase it..

Try to knock out the lion with the smell of your armpits

Thow yourself off a cliff, less painful, and we can identify the body =]

lol, what is that painting called where the man has is arms in six different directions? lmao

Nice pussycat

If all else fails...shit on yourself. At least you will taste bad to that motherfucker!

Shout ? God knows!

like we are going to win a fight against a mountain lion this sign is moronic

is that the guy from the bathroom sign

YMCA!!!!!

notes notes everywheres :D

another useless note.

LOL. Give the chlid to the lion XD

It looks like they are saying pick the kid up by his head.

They make good shields.

A big gun would be an advantage

who's the "genius" behind this? he must have the IQ of a pea brain.. lol or he thought the mountain lion is a pussy cat..

Grab this helpful looking arrow-type weapon and use it!

Shout...shout...let it all out...these are the things I can do without...come on....I'm talking to you...come on

But I'm a pacifist!

What about our handi-capable friends? Roll back?

What the?! He's Bigger now!

Leonard Da Vinci drawed this! :)

"Oh great mountain lion, accept this gift"

blardy hell! This is soooogoddamn funny!! HAHAHA!!!!!

Don't worry, buddy. Only your brother will be sacrificed.

This is spartaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Try it son! BE LARGE!

and they are easy to toss.. Xp

Another note.

Wow that So cool.

Wow look at this one its even better.

Step 1: If A Mountain Lion Is Right In Front Of You Just Stick Your Hand Up Your Ass And Take A Shit. Then Try To Feed The Shit To The Mountain Lion.

It Should Work.

leave britney alone! lol.

So many goddamn notes!

bish im da bomb like ticktick!!

"Don't eat me!! I have a wife and kids, eat them!"

Note! NOTE! ARGHHH!!!

u better fucking fight back

who the fuck was the mastermind of this damn sign!?!?!?!?!?!

If attacked, fight back.
If dead, sue sign.
If live, brag.

Haha! Funny!

GREAT ADVICE! I hope I'll never have to use it though! ;-) Or any of YOU, for that matter!! Hugzzzzz, all!

ya no cabe una nota ´más! jjajajajaj

How is doing the YMCA dance going to help now?

Why do you never go to the bathroom when you need to? C'mon, pee on the lion!

Oooh interesting hole.

Yeah....like making the children do the YMCA dance will help.

tail goes here

lolololololololol

The still space here!

yeah, use the children as a shield...

Throw it at the lion and run away very fast!

great fun!

Weird, I thought they usually said to put children on your shoulders so you look bigger. I wonder if people were getting attacked when they bent their knees to lift with ease...

wung says:

thanks for sharing!

i would think fighting back is a great option, or probably the only option if it attacks ... we may not be as strong, but we can poke its eyes, kick its stomach or other places. Of course, when it gets a hold of your arm or other parts of your body, it's probably over ...

caitlinburke says:

A mountain lion isn't looking for a fight, and it will take an escape route from a feisty target. Fighting back can definitely work. But they can do a lot of damage quickly, and if one jumps onto your back (it's going for your neck), it's all over.

For those who can't read English, the sign clearly says:

HOW TO AWAKEN A PETRIFIED MOUNTAIN LION

1) Mock the lion by pretending to be petrified yourself. If that doesn't work, leave.
2) Come back and wave your arms.
3) If all else fails, try offering it some children. They love children!

iKatx says:

I don't see how this is funny. This is actually what you're supposed to do when you encounter a mountain lion. Does no one agree that backing away from the vicious predator is good advice? What are you gonna do, stand there while it sets up its fine china or walk TOWARDS it? Are you gonna get down on all fours and cry like a baby, or are you gonna be big and loud to scare it off? If you have children with you, are you gonna feed them to the mountain lion or pick them up where they'll be away from the cougar? And playing dead when the thing attacks you is moronic - um, hello! It'll think it killed you and it will EAT you! Fighting back with feet and fists is a much better solution. I can't believe you people, you're talking like idiots. When you encounter a mountain lion and go against all this advice...I'll meet you in heaven. I know this is supposed to be a joke street sign or something, but it's seriously what you're supposed to do. And the stick figures are just putting the children in front of them because this is supposed to be a JOKE. Duh...

I've heard that lions are more easily intimidated if you get an erection, though if you're not well endowed, you may have to pull your pants down to make it obvious. Anyway, I tried it on my housecat, and it worked like a charm.
