Why

There wasn’t much thought behind this one. This sign had said “NO TIPPING” of course, but I felt it was going to be better if it was changed to something a bit more amusing and improbable.

When

Around 1991.

Where

On the field opposite my house, but before I lived there.

Materials / Media

Tipp-Ex and marker.

Production

No production required.

Execution

At night as usual, but nothing else worth mentioning.

Notes

After creating the sign, I never saw any hippos on the field.

Duration & Fate

I don’t really recall, but I think the sign was corroded and might have been broken. It might have been removed on purpose but I didn’t keep tabs on it to know when it went. Nothing remains of it now, just a hole in a block of concrete.
