    Usually a picture of something with a red line crossed through it is a sign of something that you are not supposed to do or touch, etc. Like, "No crossing" signs, or "No swimming" signs, etc. A surfboard with a seal with a red line through it is a sign saying "I'm not a seal so don't eat me" sign for a shark. Like, "NO SEAL" sign. It's hilarious, when you see it in the right context. For those who just don't get it.

      I really wanted to know why other people thought this was funny, I thought that it was because "like a shark is going to listen to that". I didn't know if though if he/or anyone else knew the reason I thought it was funny. "Seal" in French is p.h.o.q.u.e. and when you say it out loud it, well you can get the point but he was making a sign that would say "No p.h.o.q.u.e.s.". Like "No f*'s given". This is why when you swear you say "pardon my French", because you're playing like you're apologizing for the fact that you're using the French word for seal and not apologizing for swearing.

      @@jdamommio :) no, as much as the French have been accused of surrendering a lot, it's an exaggeration, and that's not what it means. Thinking about what I originally wrote, I can't find anything to back up the French word for Seal being THE reason for the expression, there seems to be several possible explanations. Mine is more of an interesting realization about the expression. Sorry if I misinformed anyone.
