A very serious one. This is used in the Netherlands for instance in railway stations to indicate the location of a defibrillator. This can save lives in case of a cardiac arrest. The symbol of the heart is clear enough.

US trip part 237, originally uploaded by gugs.

This is something you can see in hotels and restaurants in California. This is legal paranoia, to European eyes... the next step will be that tourists have to sign a document when entering the country to prove that they understand that by breathing they might inhale substances dangerous to their health.

This is a sign found in Hotel Shangri La in Shenzhen, China... modern times. Nobody would have understood this 5 years ago and now it became part of our life.
