Question

Mr. Brown lived in a house less than five miles from his office, so he was able to drive home every day for lunch and it took him twenty minutes. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars were parked outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he had to walk back home. This made him very angry.

He had put up a board, which said, No Parking in the garden facing the road, but nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey only a police notice with white letters on a blue board: POLICE NOTICE NO PARKING

Mrs. Brown said that he could steal a police notice. But he was afraid to do so. She then said that he could make one just like a police. He said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word police. Several days later, Mr. Brown made a blue board with white letters POLITE NOTICE NO PARKING

Oh! Mrs. Brown said, "But you told me you weren’t going to use the word police, but why do you use it now?" Really?" he asked, "Look again. " She started to laugh. "You are really clever."
