Long Haired Freaky People Need Not Apply by dexter in question

Two examples, I think.
Example #1 - Anti-Climb Paint
This sign is posted on a wall near the entrance to Somerfields, a grocery store. I was unsure as to what made this paint different from other 'climbable' paint, so I looked it up - Anti-climb paint, also called anti-intruder paint, is applied thickly and never sets. It remains in gel form making any attempt at climbing any surface painted with it almost impossible and certainly very messy as it will contaminate skin, clothing, etc.
To avoid accidental contact, it is suggested that Anti Climb paint is only used on surfaces above head height and we recommend that it should be used in conjunction with appropriate warning signs.
Well - this paint covers nearly the whole wall, not just 'above head height.' Two - there is a trolley stand next to it that could easily be used to vault over the wall and three - http://www.insight-security.com/per-razorspike.htm - seems like a better anti-climbing device, but maybe that's just because I am from Texas.
Example # 2 - Where?
This sign asks for drivers to report to the yard foreman before entering the yard, but if they can't enter the yard, than how do they report to the yard foreman, who, by name, is in the yard. If the yard foreman comes out of the yard, than isn't he reporting to the drivers, and therefore be acting against the signs intentions? I am glad I am not trying to deliver anything to Travis Perkins!
