Mike. Well clearly the sign applies to anyone wishing to pass it, not anyone who has yet to reach it. It would be a bit daft to place the sign inside the restricted area, so that it was necessary to trespass in order to read it. Here in the UK our GOMLs tend to be less verbose -- two words will cover all eventualities: Martin. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was probably Bargearse which used footage from a 1970's police drama called Bluey, in which actor/comedian Leo "Lucky" Grill playing Det Sgt Bluey Hill. Bargearse played on Lucky Grills (his stage name) size, with plenty of fat and f#rt jokes. Paul Hogan used to do a sketch with Det Sgt Donger, who would use his beer gut to miscreants. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got ones now that can see around corners. No mirrors needed. No idea how they work though. They're the more sophisticated versions of Corner Shot. Special Ops only though.
