Russian demotivators

The notice under the red "Emergency Exit" sticker says: "Attention! Make sure that the polar bear is absent before leaving the cafeteria!".

Sensible Russians.

We could have done with something similar by the front door of the auroral observatory near Longyearbyen on Svalbard. Between that door and the main road, which is the nearest point at which a vehicle can park, is a no-man's land of around 70m, across which you occasionally see bear footprints.
