(Gotta love this job. How often does anyone get to write a headline like that one?)
Once upon a time in another office building, there was a problem. A good many of the men working in said building had apparently inherited the Flush Inhibitor Gene (FIG). Whenever enough FIG-carriers in a row left their, er, contribution, it became possible for anyone else to locate the mens room blindfolded.
So I created a sign. It was a tad sarcastic, and failed to effect any change. So next I took a lighter approach. I put up a nicely designed sign that said: “To urinate is human. To flush is divine.” It worked.
If you’re wondering what brought this to mind, please read this post about a tasteless sign and a poor leadership example. The post was written by my friend, associate and former creative director Ty Kiisel.
