A Typical Man
Truthfully, men and women alike can be pretty darn stubborn. But for some reason, this quality seems to be especially apparent in men–which led to the original sign that was erected here. Initially, the sign read, “This year thousands of men will die from stubbornness.” It’s actually an important billboard, dedicated to encouraging men to get preventive medical testing, which they often refuse to do.
But one particularly stubborn man and graffiti artist came along and added three words to the billboard: “No we won’t.” If that’s not a typical male response, I don’t know what is. Either way, he’s proving the point the sign is trying to make. No, the joke did not whoosh past us.
