Any particular reason to ignore the sign, like there isn't high voltage?

Jack, you're kidding, right? The sings are altered to show people being electrocuted, etc.

In reply to KevinO’Neil:

Sorry, I didn't notice. However, that might be more effective, if the Boston and Addison St. incidents indicate anything.
