The sign comment reminds me of a funny story. 

My nephew-in-law came to visit over summer. I think he was 16 at the time. I looked at my wife's laptop he had been using and noticed 
that he had been looking at porn. I'm a realist and knowing what I did at that age on a BBS I decided to not say a word to him. 

What I did do was to put a post-it-note on the screen, close the laptop, then left for my office. 

The note read this: 

"It would break your aunt's heart if she knew you were looking at porn on her computer." 

When I came back the note was not there. He had been using the laptop. I never even looked 
in the history to see if he had still went to a site. My wife, his mom, and me laugh about this incident.
