Free Bear Rides

We found this bear in a sunny spot in the back of a Tennessee antique-junk shop. 

Of course, I had already 'petted' him more than once before noticing THE WARNING SIGN.

I wasn't feeling hospitality flowing around the shop.

Love the last forbidding line: 'Other such abusive acts'

Seems like most of what you could do to a stuffed bear was covered in the other lines...

You have to wonder about the thought process behind this sign - really. Would someone who would engage in pulling toes off a stuffed bear, in full sight of the owner, really bother to  read and be cautioned by this sign? 

Or does it just spark 

ideas 

and the beginnings of rebellious disobedience? 

I guess you know what I think. 

Seems like RIDING might be an option...
