Some time ago when I was living in Pittsburgh I took a visiting colleague to see the Aviary. A mural on the wall in one of the exhibit dioramas depicted a desert scene. On one part of that wall mural there was a spigot sticking out for watering the plants. My friend pointed it out and said “Oh look. There’s a mirage!”

Wouldn’t work. The trick, or the joke?

It hasn’t worked … yet.

This could be (part of) an intelligence test or a wisdom test.
Intelligence Test: Is a particular subject intelligent enough to be able to read the sign upside down?
Wisdom Test: Is the subject wise enough to know choose whether to and how to follow the sign?

A juicy roast-breast-of-buzzard might tide him over.

But you’ve got to give him credit for at least trying the idea!

Question: Has the sign text written on both sides?
Answer: No, probably not. If that was the case it was no need to turn it upside down…

Carry on, my dear vultures.

The “Hurricane” turned the sign around..Were they the vultures from Bugs Bunny?

Sometimes suspicion rears its ugly head. And should.

I have known some people who would simply go in the direction of the arrow, assuming it was a correction.

Taking a stroll through a desert is a very bad idea.

I recently took some decent pictures of a committee of Turkey Vultures in a tree. They are immensely cool creatures.

“Was worth a try, though.”
Put up an accurate sign pointing toward life-saving water and write on it FAUCI SAYS WATER.For something somewhat similar: https://www.pnj.com/story/opinion/2021/07/26/marlette-cartoon-fauci-and-florida/8070923002/
