The most frustrating part about this sign on a nondescript building near my workplace is that these words very much seem like they should make sense together. I keep focusing on them, and like a 3D Magic Eye picture, some sort of linguistic meaning will suddenly jump out at me, but when I look again it’s not there. And then I feel really stupid when I can’t see it again.
