I sent it to my group, there are some valuable lessons there about technical documentation.

Well, thank you, Theo! I was wondering what I could do with these wonderful bits of nonsense...to wit:

(note: these are supposedly actual captures of signs o' the times...)

In a restroom: TOILET OUT OF ORDER. PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW

In a Laundromat: AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES: PLEASE REMOVE ALL YOUR CLOTHES WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT

In a London department store: BARGAIN BASEMENT UPSTAIRS

In an office: WOULD THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE STEP LADDER YESTERDAY PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR FURTHER STEPS WILL BE TAKEN

In another office: AFTER TEA BREAK STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE TEAPOT AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD

Outside a secondhand shop: WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?

Notice in health food shop window: CLOSED DUE TO ILLNESS

Spotted in a safari park: ELEPHANTS PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR

Seen during a conference: FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN'T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE 1ST FLOOR

Notice in a farmer's field: THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES.

Message on a leaflet: IF YOU CANNOT READ, THIS LEAFLET WILL TELL YOU HOW TO GET LESSONS

On a repair shop door: WE CAN REPAIR ANYTHING. (PLEASE KNOCK HARD ON THE DOOR - THE BELL DOESN'T RING)




Oh, and your faithful knothead says...




(note: please try again when the poster is within polite distance...OR ELSE!!)

heh

[MegalosSkylaki]

Are you implying that when the Toilet wasn't working, that I shouldn't have used the floor below ? ? ?

And here Knothead, I thought you were my friend !

And Theo , you're saying that the sign in the Japenese train Station was wrong :
For Restrooms
Go Back toward your behind

Yeah, sure, my knowledge of Japenese was limited,
But this what I always do !

I'm thinking there is something wrong with this Thread.
This calls for a Moderator

Where does one get the technical plans to build one?
One who knows the name of the Poem by Alan Ginsburg that starts with "H".

We saw a good one the other day. Car park in front of the botanical gardens we were visiting said "CAR PARKING ONLY". Well, DOH!

We left the horses and camels at home.

Cheers
