Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

The words "tail sauce" really conjures a mental picture.

Ask not what our sauce, radish or tail sauce can do for you, but what you can do for the hot horse cock.

I think it reads more like "Ask our sauce, radish, or tail sauce 4 hot horse cock."

The sign speaks truth, horse cock is hot. Everyone already knows this, but it bears repeating.
