Many years ago, I went into a stall in the women’s restroom at a drive-in theater (I am a woman, so I was entitled to be there).
Someone, presumably male, had written a phone number on the wall, adding the message I AM ELEVEN INCHES.
I rummaged in my purse and found an eyebrow pencil to write a response. I just could not resist the temptation to write WOW. MY BARBIE DOLL REALLY WANTS TO MEET YOU.
In the old engineering building at NAS Jax, the emergency information was posted on a placard that was titled “FIRE BILL” - naturally, someone had to write “Bill, you’re fired.”
I saw this when I was a kid and had accompanied my mother to the University of Pennsylvania for some reason or other. A long long time ago, when Ivy League tuition was a fraction of what it is now.
In the basement ladies’ room in the main library, a sign on the paper towel dispenser said: ONE TOWEL DRIES BOTH HANDS.
Below it:
“For $10,000 a year I’ll take two thank you.” (I said it was a long time ago.)
“Is it the tree’s fault you couldn’t get a scholarship?”
Also:
“What if they’re really super-wet?”
“Why do you think God gave you pant legs?”
