Abrupt, Yet so Poignant.

I took this picture so that I could take it to court in case I got a parking ticket (I've already been bestowed with one, forty seven dollars should go to a trapeze class, thankyouverymuch).  I kept it to share because it's kinda funny.  Kudos to whomever came up with the usage of DEAD.  How many other four letter words can be used to imply no wattage?  I can't think of any.
