I was sitting in the men’s room at JFK, after undergoing the usual wretched time-consuming boring dehumanizing process that air travel has become twice in three days, feeling just about as alienated and disenfranchised as a human being can feel; and I saw a small, professionally printed sticker someone had stuck neatly on the toilet paper holder:

“Toilet camera for statistical purposes only.”  
:eek: 😃😃😃

Was there also one on the hand dryer that said, “press button to get bacon”? 😛

On the dryer I’ve seen

1. Press button
2. move hands under hot air
3. Fan will stop automatically

(and etched right under that)

1. Wipe hands on pants.

Old joke snipped.

In the old Continental terminal of Stapledon airport in Denver I saw on driers  
“Do not use with wet hands”

on an official looking sticker. :eek:
