My friend Nirvana spotted this at the LA center studios, where she was working on Dollhouse (incidentally, a good show that you should all watch tonight at 9 on Fox).
I think perhaps of all the examples, this one might really be an exception. I'd love to believe the sign's creator truly understood the proper use of quotes for sarcasm or irony.
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.

It's the old joke: "That's no lady, that's my wife."

Drag queens, trannies, and women who wear tool belts, if ya know whadda mean.
P.S. Dollhouse, and any other Joss Whedon show, totally kicks butt.
I thought the same thing, that in this context, the quotation marks were appropriately used, because what lady wouldn't flush?
Um, that sign is totally accurate. Sometimes you need to call out the "ladies" who act like "wolverines" in the powder room.
I expect better of Eliza Dushku.
I was going to watch that show until I found out that the women who work on it don't flush.
wow, great post...
thanks for this post...
I like this blog.........
