This large billboard, on one of the many bridges in Pittsburg, got my attention. The trickster archetype seems to be at work here! This sign publicly reveals my secret indulgences to my pets. I laughed and felt relieved knowing that others did this too.
What if my other quirks were proclaimed by flashing neon signs or artfully painted on the sides of historic brick buildings? What would be a good example of one of these messages? Perhaps, “The ‘ten second rule’ is more like a ‘ten minute rule’ here.” Would more of such revelations allow me to lighten up and laugh at myself more or would I feel exposed?
