Do No Touch

Those who know me know I have a weird sense of humor. I found this sign very funny as it is at the boat ramp on Lake Sebago. Lake Sebago is the deepest lake in Maine at 316 ft (91 m) and the second largest. But most important it is the source of water for Greater Portland. Thus the sign but when you think you can put a big old boat in the water but you can't touch the water. It does seem funny to say don't touch the water.
It is very strange. Interesting sign and narrative.

That is funny.

Would make everyone want to walk down and touch the water

It does! I live in Portland, Oregon. For super set funny signs, you can look up the ones that different cultures tried to translate from English. And I’m not making fun of those cultures at all. I just think it’s quite funny. Like one of them said something like blah blah blah tiny grass is sleeping.

Nice spotting and contrasts. Does seem odd. Maybe more specific wording would help.

Great find and capture. Yeah, that one doesn't make a lot of sense.

Not sure how you launch a boat without touching the water.

Very amusing line.

Fabulous find and capture, what a weird sign to say the least.

Nice find. I would keep away from the water if it means incurring a $500 dollar fine.

A bit strange. Is this sign still here? Maybe something happened here and I'm protecting the area. After all, this does not apply to the entire lake, only to the 2-mile border.

That is priceless! 🤣

It could be a bit tricky trying to launch a boat without touching the water :)

@haskar I took the sign picture Sunday

Interesting - that is a substantial penalty for touching the water!

Funny it sounds as if the sign is telling the police not to touch!! Lol

How weird…..hope you didn’t wash your hands Joan!
March 1st, 2024  
Lol Joan - doesn't that sign just make you want to go and poke at the surface of the water with your finger!!!
March 1st, 2024  
I’m tempted

Yes! Quite ironic you cannot touch it with your fingers but you can stick a rusty propeller or moldy row boat in there!
