I always wondered.....do "slow children at play" become "slow men at work"?

:rotfl:

Funny you say that. I always got a charge out of that too, only I didn't relate it to slow men at work. I just pictured dumb kids playing slowly.

My mother used to say referring to the MPH signs, as that many men peeing here.

I used to play with the stop sign. I'd turn it around in my head and read pots.

It used to scare me that a washer at an LTC facility i worked with had a sign on the side that said "WARNING: Do not put any person in this washer"

Excuse me? You have to TELL people not to DO this?

Now you KNOW someone had to have tried it in order for a warning like this to come up?

Yep, according to the brand's rep, and average of 8 people a year die in industrial washing machines.
