What's with this sign?
This was in the men's restroom by the exhibit hall at SBL:
The first time I saw it, I thought I was in the women's restroom...
It may be left over from previous arrangements. If you go into the Great Wall restrooms here in Warsaw, you can see they still have a southwest/Mexican theme.
Joel - We were in Thunder Bay today, at a McDonalds so the kids could get some exercise in the Play Place. I had to take Rachel to the men's washroom to change her diaper. As we were washing our hands a six year old boy came in and stopped to stare at Rachel. Eventually he asked, "Is that a boy or a girl?" "She's a girl," I said. He responded, "Oh, am I in the wrong bathroom?" "No, this is the men's bathroom." Then very matter-of-factly the six-year-old informed me that Rachel should not be in the men's bathroom. So we finished up and left!
Well you would think......
ReplyDeleteLol...very amusing!

ReplyDeleteMaybe they are trying to get the husbands and boyfriends to support their wives and girlfriends not to drink...?
