                     Warning: *THIS IS AN EMOTION FREE ZONE!*

VISITORS FROM THE SUNWORLD ARE KINDLY REQUESTED TO ABANDON ANY EMOTIONAL LEFTOVERS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES AND PROCEED IN AN ORDERLY FASHION THROUGH PASSPORT CONTROL BY FORMING A QUEUE SO AS TO AVOID ANY UNNECESSARY FLAGELLATION.

PEDERASTS, DYKES, QUEERS AND OTHER AFFECTIVE PREFERENCE MINORITIES WHO WILL ABIDE BY THE NO-EMOTION LAW ARE WELCOME.

SUNWORLDERS CAUGHT EMOTING ALL OVER THE PLACE WILL BE DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY.

                      Warning: * THIS IS AN EMOTION FREE ZONE!*

              YOU ARE KINDLY REQUESTED

                                             TO

                                      ABANDON ALL EMOTION
