Today I was treated to two fantastic signs.
The first was posted to a fridge in the kitchen at Puzzle Palace.
Covering the better part of 8½” x 11”, it was a prodigious tirade –addressed to the unknown felon that thoughtlessly and cruelly chucked out the author’s leftover lunch. I greatly appreciated the grave warning to the rest of us on the fleeting chances of survival of food stored in the fridge.
However this signage encounter was surpassed when later in the day, and to my delight, posted to the door of the cubicle in dunny was this hand-written note: “Out of Order - Please Use Floor Below.” It was one of the few times that I can honestly say that I took great delight in following instructions.
It’s almost too easy enjoying the signage on The Island.
Recently a colleague was sent to the larger island further north and shared that the gym was literally littered with fantastic signs. The first was a bit intimidating for a hillbilly (“You are not allowed to use the gym if you have tattoos”), but it was all comedy gold after that:
“Please contact nurse or trainer if you become unpleasant while exercising”
“Please do not use the Oxygen Capsule if you can’t pull your ear out.”
“A person who is pregnant and has a pacemaker should not use Oxygen Capsule.”
And so to now draw a very thin bow between Signage and Fitness, it is only fair to finish by sharing some of the latest recruitment signage for the national service on The Island. Enjoy these posters.
