This sign is actually local to me.

Is that like 'Oh, Canada' Wink

The mis-spelling of parkour put me in mind of this story I saw over the weekend: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7702913.stm

It's a bi-lingual English/Welsh roadsign where the English says 'No Heavy Goods Vehicles' and the Welsh reads 'I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated"

Not even a little bit. This is, after all, the state that elected "Jeb!"

It's clearly a typo; they meant the sign to read "No Par Course" in an attempt to repel golfers.

If you're going to be "core", you'd better be more core than average?

You appear to have missed that this was in Florida, where you are not allowed to discriminate against golfers and old people, particularly because the groups are barely distinguishable.
