From today's World Wide Words, ed. M. Quinion:
My wife and I stayed at a country hotel in Scotland last weekend.
Strolling in the grounds, we repeatedly came across signs nailed to
trees: "Please be aware of falling branches". This curiously worded
caution aroused the logician in me. One could hardly be utterly
unaware of a falling branch, even if only for a microscopic moment
before it knocked your brains out.
