Most people who worked with and know him best agree that “This is not a drill,” meaning a serious situation is happening. But if we come across this sign on the streets, we’re probably going to let out a chuckle.

Sleepy Don's naps during his criminal trial could be his cognizant deterioration or a middle finger to the jury deciding his future fate.

Alternatively, did he call on the Devil for further knowledge and magic powers with which to indulge all the pleasures of the world?
