Distancing
Posted By: reh321, 10-10-2020, 08:29 AM

I am intriqued at how various places remind users of "Social Distancing",
the first example coming from our County Fair grounds - the second at a "Jimmy Johns" sandwich shop.

Making a small digression you could say that 1 horse and 1/2 equals 9 sandwiches and 2 horses equals 12 bags of chips. Is this correct? or wrong. Obviously it's just a digression.

Anyway, very funny the combination that you have shot

Thank you for commenting.

No, as far I can tell, each of those is meant to be six feet, so the implication is that
1 horse = 9 sandwiches = 12 bags of chips = 6 feet {I haven't measured any of them myself|},

but these are humorous ways of asking people to maintain that distance.

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, I do look for humor at this time, especially situations that we will probably never see again - and in this case they are so subtly funny.

I bike the parks around here daily. Many people won't distance despite the signs. I bought chalk and have measured and marked the entrances to the paths. You really need to be on the edge. It has seemed to help some. Still run off the path into the woods by 25%.

Thank you for your comments, which show the value of using these humorous ways of conveying expectations - it is hard to laugh and growl at the same time.
