They will use the sign to scratch an ich in their butts, which will end up
badly for the sign.

I remember mentioning how one of my horses took a structure down that way in an
Engineering class. Somebody told me, years later, that a standard problem in
Structure Calculus nowadays is "Verify if this structure can withstand a XXX Ib
horse scratching her butt against this wall as shown in the diagram".
