Field report, filed from behind a traffic cone. A ladder leaning on a wall forms a triangle, and the triangle is sacred geometry — walking through it is trespassing on a shape. The shape files complaints. The complaints become luck, and not the good kind.
Our correspondent observed seventeen pedestrians approach the ladder. Sixteen took the approved route (see exhibits). One did not. He is fine, which was the most unsettling outcome available — now nobody knows the rules.
Doctrine, clarified
The shortest path between two points is a liability.

Walk around. It adds four seconds to your commute and, by our math, four seconds is cheaper than seven years (see: mirrors).
