Via Ocean City government.If you travel to Ocean City, Md. this summer, you best keep your damn mouth shut if you have a tendency to swear.
The Delmarva Daily Times reports that “no profanity please” signs with be posted on every block of the boardwalk:
The Ocean City Council approved the signage at its March 24 meeting, the result of weeks of discussion among officials trying to chart the best course for what’s ultimately an unenforcable suggestion.
“It wasn’t going to be anything fineable. It’s just a general reminder,” said Councilwoman Mary Knight, who pitched the idea in January. “The idea is that it shows that Ocean City cares. Families will see it. People will remember, ‘when I see it, maybe I shouldn’t use colorful language’ that some folks use.”
Ocean City Councilmember Brent Ashley, who previously suggested fining people with saggy pants, said posting the signs is “the right thing to do and sends the right message.”
