Throwback: This sign along Commonwealth Avenue in 2009 missed the mark

This was taken on June 14, 2009 along Commonwealth Avenue, and it still cracks me up to this day. This is how I imagine the meeting went:

Head: Dapat may nakalagay diyan na flashing arrow para alam ng mga motorista na may ginagawa sa lugar na yan.
Staff: Sige po, kami na ang bahala.
Head: Tandaan niyo ha? Flashing arrow ang ilalagay diyan.

And this is how I imagine the succeeding conversation went:

Staff: Napalagyan na po namin ng flashing arrow yung sa may Commonwealth, gaya po ng sinabi niyo. Puntahan po natin.
Head: *miffed silence upon seeing the sign*
Staff: Okay po ba?
Head: *trembling violently* Mga bobo! Hindi ko sinabing magpaprint kayo ng tarp na may nakasulat na “flashing arrow”! Eto ang ibig kong sabihin!! *head shows the staff a picture of the intended flashing arrow*
Staff: *headscratching as one*

As I recall, it was taken down several days later and replaced with an actual illuminated, flashing arrow.
