Maybe Electrical Cables is related to Max Headroom.

That’s a coincidence. I saw these stickers on a bulkhead during my daily bus ride home a couple days ago, and thought about bringing my camera to get a picture for this blog. I guess someone beat me to it.

Could be that whoever put the sign together was told by the legal department that it must exactly reproduce the legend “DO NOT DRILL HERE” and the person was just a little bit too literal about that and included the quotation marks?
It reminds me of some of the peculiar constructions I’ve seen in data rights assertions, where someone is slavishly reproducing a legend exactly within a larger sentence, even though this renders the punctuation (and sometimes the sentence structure) illogical.
