Things that crack me up, #21
It's just so mysterious.
Restroom signage somewhere in Orleans, France.
From Flickr by bananeman
Visual description: It's a simple drawing of a woman in a manual wheelchair at right and a washroom sink at left. There's a giant green arrow leading from the sink and pointing to the woman. I suppose this is somehow meant to indicate the sink is accessible, but there are no accompanying words, and really, it looks like you're supposed to douse the woman with water or pry the fixture loose and whack her with it. Or something.

So, I'm assuming that smiling, waving kids in wheelchairs and hospital gowns come from the tap... or (horror-film style) from the drain... or that there's some kind of morphing from a sink into a child? Hmmmmm indeed.
I hadn't noticed before that she's wearing a hospital gown. The Flickr link says this was found at a camping site. For institutionalized wheelers needing to be hosed down, perhaps.
That's funny. I saw something totally different. To me it looked like they were trying to say that if anyone sees any pee in the sink, it was probably the handi-girl that did it. Did she really think that no one was going to suspect it was her? Gotta love those han-dee-caps with their hilarious pee-pee pranks, I guess!
Hmmm. Interesting
On second thought, I think given the habits of some dudes I saw at West Fire in Rochestrer in St. Patrick's Day they should have a sign showing a crowded urinal line up(Or a 5 urinal three filled, with gaps between), with the arrow pointing from the sink to the drunk guy.
Makes one wonder where they come up with the ideas for signage either here in the united states or abroad to convey a meaning for a particular idea/concetpt/ect so everyone can and could understand in ahy language.-frogger
Bint,
I associated it with peeing as well.
