Rat: Out of my way, guys. I need to use the bathroom.
Man: This isn't a bathroom. It's just a room filled with men.
Rat: Some signs are surprisingly literal.
Dorothy Parker pulled this same stunt when she was at the New Yorker. Instead of her name on the office door, she arranged to have the word “Men” painted there. Said she got a lot of visitors, but they all seemed to be in a hurry.
I am told I interpret signs too literally. For example, “Caution: Wet Floor”. What if I don’t feel like wetting the floor? Similarly, “Void Where Prohibited”. What if I don’t have to go?
