Rate: 35 Flag

This sign, brought to my attention by a co-worker, is in our office's ladies bathroom, just inside a stall door. I took this pic while being chaperoned by the lovely Miss Sarah Hepola.

I should take this opportunity to say that we adore the building staff here.

If i read too much into this, I will indeed see signs already autographed. ~R~

I have tried to say the exact same thing to some men and have had mixed results.

O'Really?

November 03, 2009 07:08 PM

What? "flash"? You have camera toilets?
But no spellcheck?

I don't even WANT to know what they are flushing completely!

Me thinks a new toilet is in order...one with universal happy flushing everyt ime, without unnecessary holding time. Time is money. Quicker flushing, happier bosses, no fuss no muss...indeed it must be happy hour!

Hey, all you grammar and spelling police: whoever wrote that sign did so in a language not her native tongue. Beat that with a stick! Just sayin...

But seriously, Zerry, you have not enjoyed my very special Open sign?

I don't have any idea what that directive is supposed to have you do.

This reminds me of something my wife has been fond of saying from time to time: if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

And it's true.

I don't buy their slogan for a second. I'm much happier when I don't flash completety. Or is that completelly?
