"Sink" is the nickname of Doctor Arthur Jean-Paul Sinkerson, DDS, the local dentist who often moonlights as a water storage tank at this hotel. A remarkable man, that "sink".
In the sign, "sink" clearly refers to the bathtub. The bathtub probably got that nickname because of all the hotel guests who wash dishes in it. --David
I just discovered this blog, and THANK GOODNESS! I hate hate HATE it when people misuse one of the most simple punctuation marks ever invented. Thank you for providing a place to mock them!
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.

I don't know - unnecessary quotes aside I think I am most disturbed by the two pleas to "DO NOT JUMP" and "DON'T GIVE UP".
Wow.

Brilliant, olderbrother. Brilliant. Love it.
"DON'T GIVE UP"
Because even if it means horrible burns and disfigurement, we'd rather you not die in our hotel. Thanks.

Hahahaha!
"Sink" must be a euphemism for "washing basin".
