You can't see it, but I am biting my thumb SO HARD at litterers.

Are there trash cans and butt containers for people to use adjacent to the sign?

Why? Because cigarette butts are too heavy to carry? That empty coffee cup, too?

...they could have said "beseech *thee* ." but that would have been overkill.

or maybe "Screw your garbage to the sticking place"

that's.....about all the Shakespeare I know.
