Don't
@kittywifclaws If I'm buying a horn, I'm going to toot it! 😛
@kittywifclaws They REALLY want me to honk it, don't they?
@kittywifclaws
You didn’t say please!
[honks with abandon]
@kittywifclaws The rubber will crumble. Ask me how I know.

@md @kittywifclaws
How do you know?
@huxley @kittywifclaws
Parents had one when I was a kid. I squeezed and the rubber crumbled.
@kittywifclaws @DeliaChristina Well I wasn’t gonna but now….

@Enbybookwyrm
I mean, if they were really serious about it, they would have put it behind glass.

Also, the prohibition is rather unclear.

Don't toot it?
Touch it?
Lick it?

There is a universe of 'Don'ts' out there. They need to pick one.

@kittywifclaws Hahahah! Reminded me of this photo I took some years ago
@kittywifclaws "And soon, the Don't Sound could be heard echoing through the shelves, down the hallways, and out into the valley beyond."
@kittywifclaws I have one of these in my classroom and it is my favorite thing and it is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN for children to honk it except on the last day of school and very, very Special Occasions.
@kittywifclaws Sort of expected?
Obligatory:
@kittywifclaws don't... miss this once in a lifetime opportunity, right? 😬
@kittywifclaws ha is that from an antique shop on Cape Cod? I swear I saw it there

@kittywifclaws I wasn't going to, but now I just might.

(I laughed a lot at this.)

@kittywifclaws
He he, my dad collected tokens an got a 'pot noodle horn' and let grand kids have a blow of it. That was the one and only time - too damn loud. It has been lying in a cupboard for years away from young hands.
@kittywifclaws I would be able to help myself

@kittywifclaws

(In the garden of Eden)

"Adam, didn't I tell you explicitly NOT to toot the horn?"

"But God, the horn was SO tempting!"

"I put a DON'T label on it!"

"Uh... Eve made me do it."

Eve: "What???" (proceeds to smash the horn on Adam's head)

@kittywifclaws let me guess, the sign made it even worse ;)
@kittywifclaws never wanted to more in my life
@kittywifclaws I should wear that sticky note at all times

@kittywifclaws

I just imagine someone reaching for the bulb and the guy at the counter pulls out a revolver, thumbs back the hammer, and says "I'd prefer you don't."

@kittywifclaws *checking replies to see if someone has already posted the Dr. Doom tooting panel*

*leaving satisfied*

@kittywifclaws the temptation is simply overwhelming
