“Politicians: Scrape shit from boots before entering” (sign)

“Politicians: Scrape shit from boots before entering” is a jocular sign that has been printed on many images.
 
“Another sign says: ‘Politicians: Please scrape shit from boots before entering’” was printed in The Daily Advertiser (Lafayette, LA) on April 18, 1997. Similar signs are for cowboys instead of politicians.

...and for the record, I lived in Arizona for 8 years. I LOVE the state, but not so much the politics.
