I agree with your sentiment of this being a humorous scenario. Well seen and captured.

So ... it's been about 16 years since you've entered a challenge. About time to jump back in wouldn't you say? :-) Hope you do ...

A fantastic message. I love the depth of focus and the choice of grayscale.

I love this shot and its my favorite in the challenge so far.. Although the B&W post processing more effecting if dodge and burn were allowed in basic editing... its still a great shot - 8

Technicals: decent conversion to B&W, I would have liked a bit more punch, but perhaps the softer background brings the sign out more. composition is good. I'd like to see it with a horizontal crop.
Feel: nicely provoking.
Score: 7

there's a lot of noise, and a lack of any sharp focus.

That about says it. I love seeing ordinary signs that are ironic in their placement.
