Rules for Living

Above each of our toilets at work is a sign that says, "Please flush after use."

I suspect - though I could be wrong - that the people who need this kind of guidance for their ablutions are the same people who need to be told that the picture on a packet of food is a 'serving suggestion'.

When you open your Magnum icecream a waiter will not suddenly appear and hand you the confection on a fine white porcelain plate decorated with a strawberry and some chocolate shavings.
