I have seen signs like that in shopping centres. Usually at the back of the store.

Someone should work on calming them back down.

I have found a tiny pearl inside an oyster that I had begun to eat before (approximately three thirty seconds of an inch in diameter, but it was beautifully colored and perfectly spherical as far as anyone could tell) and it smelled like the inside of an oyster, even after I spat it out and showed it off to everyone at the table.

So I am internally compelled to ask; what does "Pearle Scent Blue Gel Ink Pen" smell like, exactly?

It's the terror threat. YOu'd be worried, too, if you had to live your life at King's Cross. :P
