If the sign says 'Fine for Dumping Garbage,' why would the police issue you a ticket for dumping garbage there?

In response to last week’s question, "If the sign says 'Fine for Dumping Garbage,' why would the police issue you a ticket for dumping garbage there?", my writing and sailing friend Rich concluded, "The police use the same logic that your wife uses when she says that it is "fine with her" if you would rather go sailing with your buddies instead of spending the afternoon  planting her roses.  In both cases, if you can go ahead and do it, but be assured there will be a penalty."

My dad's beach buddy Bob observed, "It all depends on where the sign is placed....duhh."

My cycling and flying friend Ted noted, "Much like a speed trap, the cops use a double entendre to raise some revenue" to which my cousin Wes added, "Did u miss the .$500 number preceding "Fine"? Which makes it not so fine."

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

What is the difference between a caretaker and a caregiver? (from my golden retriever rescue friend Kate)
