My favorite is Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail.

Not sure what the idea is. If the purpose is to encourage social distancing via laughter then it's good idea. And its somewhat like what theyre doing now in Germany with noodle hats:

Nazi goose-stepping wouldn’t be received well.

It’s not actually laughing at anything at all related to COVID-19 (I think this thread has been mis-named), it’s just a way for people to have a little fun during all the quarantine stuff. Just because we’re in a bad situation does not mean that that’s all anyone should think of one hundred percent of the time, that’s really not healthy for anybody and will only lead to other problems (depression, suicide, etc.). A brief silly walk isn’t going to hurt anyone (unless perhaps they overdo it and fall over).

Personally, I would love to come across one of these signs, I have a walk all planned out and everything. Hope it’s silly enough :lol:
