“1. If there are people who want to drink from the toilet, shouldn’t we just let them do whatever makes them happy and keep all the good water for ourselves?
2. If a person is inclined to drink from the toilet, is there a rational basis to believe that a sign telling them not to is likely to influence their behavior?”
Explanation and context here. Remedy for ensuing face-palm here.
When I worked in the Library of Congress, a sign in the restroom told us “Do not drink water from the sinks.”
Someone taped a supplement underneath: “Drink from the urinal instead.”
Though I appreciate the link, Mark, in retrospect I realize that my post was probably unfair. This happened in Arizona. I believe that Arizonans have been trained to drink from the toilet in the event of a Mad Max scenario caused by the oncoming onslaught of illegal immigrants beheading people in the streets.
