Favorite Signs

Here are pictures of two of my favorite signs, one because of the silliness, the other because it describes the people who work here perfectly.

First, a sign posted in the bathrooms documenting how to leave in case of an emergency.

Now I understand that there is a regulation someplace requiring this sign, and that it makes sense in larger more complex buildings, but the restrooms are inside a single connex, with one door and two very small, very high, downward tilting windows. The showers have another sign that is very similar but with slightly different sketches to reflect the six shower stalls and water heater rather than six toilets and water heater.

The showers are also the location of this second sign. There is one copy outside and another copy inside.

This is enforced by the use of an electronic lock during those hours listed. (There is also a combo restroom/shower that is for women 24 hrs/day) Now doing the math, you would guess it is a ratio of about 5 guys to every girl, but factor in differences in time to take a shower, and not forcing everyone to be there at exactly the same time and I would guess the ratio is closer to 12:1. For some reason, the difference in numbers seems to be even more pronounced with contractors than it is in the military.
