The written word is absolutely pervasive in our society: if you had to read every sign you saw, you'd never get anything else done. Every time you ran an errand (the bank, the grocery, the library, the hardware store, ...) you'd get bogged down reading, turning your five minute errand into half an hour. <br /><br />The bathrooms are over there. No food or drinks in the lobby. We are not responsible for personal items you lose here. We were founded in 1903. No horseplay. There is a limit of 10 VHS tapes on your card at any one time. Your account will be assessed a fee if you bounce a check. Ask about our quality assurance program. We participate in the federal deposit insurance program. No parking after 11pm. Don't feed the ducks. It's all a bunch of stuff we MOSTLY already know, but there's a surprisingly large amount of it, and we don't have time to review it all every day. We'd never get anything else done.<br /><br />Heaven help you if you try to read every word of every piece of mail you receive. You'd have to quit your day job.Jonadabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960094338418224109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533114.post-70661716221345456702011-11-04T01:02:34.083-04:002011-11-04T01:02:34.083-04:00Awesome!

Nothing like standing behind a registration desk for six hours a day directing people toward the bathrooms (the sign was just to my right).Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865645292824953080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533114.post-48320049514782996642011-11-03T13:47:39.030-04:002011-11-03T13:47:39.030-04:00Love it! :)Love it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533114.post-7550350856367982722011-11-03T12:40:53.763-04:002011-11-03T12:40:53.763-04:00neatneatJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698562143972216357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533114.post-37430409928823231882011-11-02T13:38:09.701-04:002011-11-02T13:38:09.701-04:00Wow Andy - these came out beautifully!
