Yet another sign of our impending doom.

Maybe that is just for the kids. The adults know what 15 is but kids always ask questions about things and this is a nice way to teach kids what 15 is.

If not this is sad.

So the kid can't count to 15, but read?

What the heck?

Don't kids learn to count before they learn to read?

Clearly you've never been around kids in a supermarket. "Daddy what does that sign say" "daddy what does this sign say". Daddy explains then the kid says "Daddy how much is 15?" and the daddy can go "see the picture of the three hands, and each hand has 5 fingers, so three hands is 15!".

It could also be a hint of sarcasm for the idiots who still go in the express lanes with more than allowed amount.

If people don't know how to count to 15, how would showing them 15 fingers help

And more to the point, how could they read the "15 is this many" part ?

I'm good; I don't even have any hands in my carriage. I didn't even know the store sold hands. :rofl:

Wow... Are you a bit too overreactive today?

Good grief, sorry? :s

Then again, you could use your own hands.

Or wait, children could also get to learn how to count in a less crowded and rushing place like an express counter.

Please, way to be a little too sensitive.

And thank you, I have been.

Also, I've worked in a kindergarten for one year, so I guess I know quite well how you could work with children.

The sign remains funny at least.

Maybe I should have put some emoticons in there, I didn't mean it grumpily, only smiley and jovial.

Oh ok, thanks for clearing up! :p

It would be very unusual of you, too.

I like what you say most of the time and you're a good member with attitude and grace.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. When I wrote this line for example:

Neowin, home of the childless.

I meant it like this:

Neowin, home of the childless. :p

I got it.

I'm not weak up there, you know! :p
