Saturday Observations
28th February 2009
So I saw a sign yesterday that said ‘Professional power washing’ which lead me to think wonder why you never see a sign that says ‘Amateur power washing’. Which led me to wonder if that doesn’t make the ‘Professional’ part a little redundant because as near as I can tell porn is the only place where ‘Amateur’ is considered a plus.
Then last night I saw a Town of Cary truck that had a tank on the back that said “Non-potable water. Not for drinking”. Isn’t that what non-potable water is? Has there ever been a situation in which you would see a sign that said “Non-potable water for drinking”? I can buy into “Potable water. Not for drinking” to indicate that while it’s drinkable water that’s not what it’s intended for. If you’re concerned that your employees are too stupid to figure out what non-potable water is perhaps you could just cut back to “Not for drinking” and save trying to impress us with the fact that you have a Word Of The Day calendar.
