    Looks to me like: "Run!, Here Comes The Oil!!", but I'm a bit obsessed lately.

    I believe I've actually seen that sign, outside a former quarry that is now full of water, intended to warn people that the first step into the water is a long one... as in, a hundred feet deep because the sides go straight down ;).

    But the Sea of Galilee explanation is a lot funnier, heh!
