Saw this one on the pavement in Chiba. We decided that it meant: "If you stab your car's windshield with a hypodermic needle, you will make it cry."

"Don't shoot up while you drive."

Is this supposed to be a no drinking while driving thing? It sure is an odd way of showing it, but in Japan you can't expect less.

My friend says it means "No Parking." (迷惑駐車禁止)
But! He explained the picture. It's a pun, because the word "parking" (chuusha) and the word "injection" (chuusha) sound exactly the same in Japanese. ha!

Oh, that's cool! Our Japanese friend was along, and he seemed puzzled by it as well.

I guess that's the nature of puns!
