Chris spotted this perplexing sign at National Archives Record Center in Perris, CA. He also notes, "This is the first time -- and hopefully the last -- that I'll ever ben inspired to whip out my cell phone and take a picture while in the bathroom."
I like to imagine that at first the sign didn't say "(except urine)"... and people would just dejectedly leave the restroom without relieving themselves.
Am I the only one who thinks American's are getting dumber, and dumber, because we live in a society that gives allowances for stupidity?
Of course this was in Perris, CA. It is needed there. These people make fences out of tires cut in half and painted white. Little arches of white tires, lining peoples dirt yards as far as the eye can see...
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.

Oh, this is the best. Who has the need to put this kind of sign up?
I'm not really planning to *pour* urine into the urinal....

What helpful instructions!

And is "INCLUDLING Water" a special kind of water? Nice typo.
At the risk of being smacked, hossrex, "Americans" is plural and needs no apostrophe... I feel so at home correcting punctuation on this site. :)
