Town supervisors in Hampton, Illinois are kindly requesting that local cyclists cut the shit and stop pooping all over the bike path.

After two years of cleaning up feces left on the local bike trail, fed up supervisors have been forced to post two large signs that read, "Stop pooping on bike path." And while many interpret this as a warning to dog owners, the message is actually meant for humans.

"It’s just pretty nasty to talk about,” Scott McKay, Hampton’s Public Works supervisor, told WQAD 8. As for how he knows that humans are the culprits: “Well animals don’t carry toilet paper and then stuff it on the top.”

McKinley hopes the new signs, adorned with hand painted poop emojis, will encourage cyclists to hold it in until they've returned home.
