I wish Greg had never told me that it just meant that you have to be quiet because I prefer to think it means, as you say, "no bugling". I'm always careful not to toot my horn when I see one of those.LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007302520478956179.post-70526798344598056312010-06-03T08:40:41.075-06:002010-06-03T08:40:41.075-06:00Love it!

Unless the sign maker hires a returned missionary from said country.
