With your finger, that's what they think you might try to use. And you'll fall over.
Really, all this apostrophe abuse could be eliminated if we could get the world to draw little *asterisks* on either side of the words they want to emphasize.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

To me it's obvious they want us to use a prosthetic toe not a real one. This hospital most likely specializes in limb rehabilitation and stuff.
Come on, I just have to comment on the you're/your problem in this post.
It's just too easy.
Still, nice catch on the "toe"...
I love this blog!
But "Ouch!" on the you're/your thing
Bethany is in class or doing something with her real life so I fixed the your/you're problem for her. Thanks for pointing it out.
Maybe they want people to use some ...other appendages. That might be ....really long. Maybe so long that they .....touch the floor.
What kind of hospital was this?
Why do they insist you must use your toe, anyway? Is there any terrible, terrible reason we shouldn't (say) use our fingers?
... oh excuse me, the quotation marks must mean they actually want us to use our hands. Nevermind. ;)
Maybe its in quotation marks because its a euphemism for a different sort of toe. Maybe a toe of the camel variety.
Yet the sheer logistics of that make me blush.
It's just like the scene from the Tenacious D movie...

Reminds me of a favorite joke.
"I rang the doorbell, didn't I?"
