Cost cutting everywhere: No more warning shots due to rising ammo costs
Text content
Due to rising cost of ammunition we will no longer be able to provide a warning shot! thank you for your understanding
Overview
The image is a photograph of a rust-colored metal sign mounted on a metal fence positioned next to a rough stone wall, with dense green shrubbery visible behind the fence under a partly cloudy sky. The sign features handwritten white text that jokes that due to rising ammunition costs, the property owner will no longer fire warning shots at trespassers, thanking people for their understanding. The joke juxtaposes formal, polite corporate cost-cutting announcement language with the violent implication that trespassers will be shot without warning, making light of widespread inflation and rising costs applied to a private property security context.
