No no no Howard, you've got it all wrong. As any good resident or former resident of New Hampshire can tell you, it's a sign from God.

In the days before literacy was prevalent, merchants would hang up signs with pictures of their wares on them. A cobbler would hang up a sign with a shoe on it to show that he made shoes. A blacksmith would hang up a horseshoe to show that he made horseshoes. Well, in the mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung up a sign to show that there he makes Men.
