Anyway, so I came across this sign:
And I thought, well, that's good. I wouldn't want to be duped right now. I'm glad to know that I'm in a dupe-free zone, though I don't know how wide the no-duping range is. Could I be duped on the next block? Across the street?
After snapping a picture, I turned around to see this sign directly across from me:
Oh my gosh! I thought. Could there REALLY be ELEPHANTS in that old warehouse, just a few blocks from my office? Could I go pet them on a bad day, offer peanuts to their little prehensile noses? Could they snuffle my blues away? ELEPHANTS???
And then I realized: I'm standing in a NO DUPING ZONE! It's totally illegal to trick people here! Therefore, there MUST BE ELEPHANTS IN THAT WAREHOUSE!
I am SO going to befriend them. Elephants!

Molly,
This really made my day :) I may have to come down and see those elephants really soon before I lose my marbles :) Good luck meeting with them, give them a few extra peanuts for me! Hope to talk to you soon!

I'm glad, Geri! After my walk, I wouldn't stop talking about them, and my boss was finally like, "THERE ARE NO ELEPHANTS! CHICAGO WOULD NOT ZONE THIS BLOCK FOR ELEPHANTS!" She was a little cranky today. So I nodded knowingly, and said, "You know what you need? A trip to visit the elephants."
Looks like an elephant took a dump on the no duping sign.
Which just PROVES that there are ellies in that warehouse!
Duping is a real thing. It's when you cheat in a video game by finding a way to make a copy of an item by exploiting bugs.
It's usually best to avoid personal duping, if only to avoid confusion. And existential crises.
