Science Abuse Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 apparently its not an uncommon thing to put on freight car: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/148131/2/Do_Not_Hump.jpg http://www.jokeornot.com/gallery/do_not_hump.jpg http://www.cowsgomoo.org/ubergeek/hump.jpg http://www.danaellynart.com/images/photo_donothump.jpg http://www.tinsignsusa.com/images/AR-616_000.gif It actualy refers to a rough method of sorting cars in big yards that involves rolling it over and down a hump and letting it coast into other lines/cars. Basicaly means "Fragile, handle with care", so DONT HUMP IT! You must make love to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
