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.

This has a Dr. Seuss feel to it.

If you can't stand

Feel free to stand

Behind the troops

In front of my Ram

If you can't sit

Feel free to sit

Behind the Sneetch

In front of the cliffs

If you can't walk

Feel free to walk

Behind the Zax

In front of the stalks

if you can't stand, feel free to stand, behind our troops in front of my Ram

so he's running down the troops, but wants to prop up a disabled person to take down first?

He means "stand by our troops" by denying them healthcare, making sure any military money goes to defense contractors instead of pay, and abandoning them as soon as they get home. Also, 20 years ago it meant sending them to Iraq for some reason.

Is it just me, or does it look like someone added text with MS Paint?
