No Eating On Elevator?
January 8th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
It looks like Enochian to me, but I suspect it’s one of those teasers like in the paper.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian
It would be, perhaps, “5 works in your 6 5″?
January 8th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Where were you when you took that picture? Might help…
January 8th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Definitely “No (something) On Elevator”. My first guess was “carts” but that doesn’t match.
January 8th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
oh, i thought lavatory on first sight, but i also think elevator is correct.
it can’t be no eating, because that wouldn’t be center-justified like the rest.
No Bats on Elevator

“No farts on elevator”?
That makes more sense…
January 8th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
No fat people on elevator. :o

There are two signs that one might see next to an elevator in this situation:
“No Waiting on Elevator” i.e. “don’t stand around and make the place look like a slum, use the freakin’ stairs!” Used by condo associations run by bureaucratic jerks who like to enforce pointless rules on people just for kicks.
That one’s unlikely unless the people making the sign can’t spell “waiting” properly. More likely the sign is “No Gate On Elevator”, i.e. “if you get in this thing and get hurt it’s not our fault because we put up a sign”.

Pregnant Lady and Children.
January 8th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
I’d like to take it back. Clearly it’s a pregnant lady on a Segway.

Is it what the witch doctor REALLY said?
January 9th, 2009 at 6:11 am
That’s the generic Voodoo curse to make the liftboy’s feet blister!
“o at On va o! o at On va o! o at On va o!”
Or it’s
” No
Elevators
On
Elevator”
Wow, that’s so damn meta!
Anyone up for making new lyrics to Aerosmith’s ” in an elevator”?
January 9th, 2009 at 8:25 am
…you can actually see the photographer’s (bernie’s, i guess) reflection on the sign…
January 9th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Damn, right now it’s tied between this comment, and the following one posted over on LJ, for my favorite…

Last word could be playground, depending on the font.

hugs at midnight, asshole FTW!
i can’t say it looks like a pregnant lady on a segway. maybe more of pregnant hooker on her knees earning a living?
January 10th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
It means there’s a special branch of the government dedicated to hiding people with cameras behind transparent signs.

Its a cry for help from the trapped man with the camera.
He wants someone to travel to the most northern part of the world. Hes quite emphatic.
“o” is a vector, probably meaning 0, or ‘the origin,’ which is yet to be defined.
“at” is obvious
“On” Here the origin is defined – the On stands for ‘Original North’. Probably true north.
“‘ ‘a o ” Jedisoth was right to claim this is poor signage, but I believe he has the meaning twisted. It’s clearly intended to mean ” a’ o”, hence the differential of the equation a is o (0). Therefore the man with the camera is directing us to a location where the gradient of the earth is 0 (where the earth is flat – the poles)
What we will find there and how we will free the man with the camera I can’t speculate.

AlP= Yay!

It says “No Crates On Elevator”
January 15th, 2009 at 8:06 am
“No skates on elevator.” And by this I propose they meant the little skatysneakers that the kids love.
Or…
O! a tOn ‘a O! Whoever made that sign apparently went around just saying O! a lot, to the point of not bringing it to you by the letter H.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Who said it was by an elevator? The last word could be a contraction, contain a removed i between the a and the o, or that space could indicate 2 words on the last line.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Also in case no one googled it… nothing good comes up

It’s a new ploy designed by that terrible head on commercial! “Head on, apply directly to the forehead” “Head On, That Works On Elevator Music”

No Seating On Elevator.

I think Jacob Matthew might have gotten it right:

(not necessarily the elevator in question, but the line seems to be used in the context).

(not necessarily the elevator in question, judging by the date, but the phrasing does seem to be used).
March 15th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
it is loosely translated from northern gailec for “a beast leads all others”
i dunno, could be wrong

No Mating On Elevator.
Clearly intended to assist the public in their reproductive pursuits by encouraging privacy.
May 20th, 2009 at 12:38 am
i believe it is a fat chick on her knees :D no really.

C’mon guys…
Think Shawshank Redemption here. What does it sound like if you string them all together. It’s a bit of a stretch.
Sound it out.

pronounced “oh-wah-tan-ay-hoe”… or slightly more suggestive, “oh what an A-ho’e”…
