I saw this excellent example of excessive cone usage and decided I needed to stop and take a photo. Immediately a security guard came over to ask me what I was doing. The conversation went something like this:

Him: "Why are you photographing that?"

Me: "I am doing a study and photographing dangerous things."

Him: "It's not dangerous anymore we have a cone here now."

Me: "Huh?"

Him: "People can trip on this little step. It's dangerous. We put a cone here."

Me: "What if I trip over the cone?"

Him: "It's orange. It is easy to see."

Me: "The cone IS the danger."

Him: "Really? Why?"

Me: "Nevermind..." <click>
