LOL, and isn't it the way. like sinage in shops, NO DOGS except guide dogs, scuse me, but a dog is a dog?.....Great capture Jeff, and I am enjoying your war pics :)

Seems daft doesn't it!!! Great shot of a slice of life:-)

makes one wonder why a blind person would need bulbs.just like at the mall early in the morning there are many people walking.what I can not figure out is why some with handicap permission tags parks in the handicap parking places when they go inside to walk.if they can walk that much,l why do they have the tags the incandescent bulb is nearly outlawed in the US.California has a law against them being used.can you imagine a knock on your door. I am the bulb police and I am here to check your house.you will be punished if you have incandescent.firing squad is ready outside

That is funny at first, but upon reflection makes some sense. Still, why not just get a low wattage bulb to begin with??? ;'D Nice of them to give them away for free though...

LOL, excellent shot !!

lol... Back here in SA we pay through our necks for these energy savings bulbs!!! Yikes!!! :)

I have these through my house now. They are a pain. They say you can't put them in an enclosed socket but I have ceiling lights that have globes over them...can't use them there. I bought a dozen myself but got the rest free in promotional campaigns. As for the blind and lights...when my mother-in-law went blind, she stopped buying lightbulbs. She didn't have visitors since she lived in a trailer on my property. She just entertained in my home if she did it at all. She really cut costs on her electric bill! I think this is a great shot btw. Makes me smile. :-)

LOL, one of those crazy things, like the shades you put in the windshield of your car on hot day. The warning says, "Remove before driving". I'm SO glad they told me, otherwise, I might just have driven away with it still in place!!

Hi jeff sunny and breezy where I am wonderful capture sweet smile to you warm hug, Linda

Whats next...free gloves for the armless, free socks for the legless. Reminds me of a tv dinner. Printed on the front {directions on bottom}warning on bottom read do not turn package upside down....DOH!

Oh lol !!!!!! some great comments here too. There are many unusual signs that we come across and some cracking ones on food wrappers like written on the underneath of Tiramasu from one of the big Supermarkets was DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN, a chocolate nut bar MAY CONTAIN NUTS. we've all seen them but arn't they great! Excellent Jeff BTW I have hundreds of these low energy bulbs that have been sent free, but they last an awful long time!

LOL Brilliant!

its the same here aswell jeff .its quite a saving in more ways than one .there is a bit of a quirky side to this but i suppose it does make sense :o) mick

I've got over half my house changed to these, made a HUGE difference already to the bill: students live in rooms with the curtains closed all day and all the lights on, the computer on full time, the phone and i-pod on charge, the TV on standby, then there's the microwave and of course the fridge! So these bulbs do help a lot! Who tells the blind about the notice?

It's a gimmick and it works. People will look and buy them. As for a visually impaired person he or she don't care.

I got some of them too in my house. cool shot and fun too

nice shot: )

Hello my dear friend , Excelente Congratulations!! All your work is very beautiful!!! It is a real pleasure to visit your gallery. A million stars ** Thank you very much for your commentaries and fav. Have on a wonderful Thursday. Embrace and kiss in your heart. Luminous Blessings. Ludy Sorry to have that to write the same thing in English to all, but are few the words that I have in English to say

The blind are capable of reading a non-Braille sign? Well done. In the US we have Braille at the "drive-up" teller's window. I once knew a person who was totally blind. He'd drive while the passenger would tell him where to steer the car. I don't think he did that too often.

Fantastic shot.

OK so why do the blind need lights? Funny photo thanks for sharing!

Very funny!

I wonder about a lot of things, and this would certainly be one of them! Thanks for sharing the photograph, my friend! :)

Excellent capture Jeff. Lol it is quite funny.

Excellent shot Jeff! I would wonder about this too!!

LOL,,

Very lol! Cool!

How is a blind man supposed to read the sign? Most Amusing.
