This Is A Food Service Area Not A Park Bench.

This sign is in the cafeteria next to the special order grill.  Apparently people like to sit on the counter while waiting for their food.  This counter is also used by people adding condiments to their food.  The last thing that I want to look at is a set of sweaty cheek marks on the counter where I am spreading cream cheese on my bagel.

Proper Instructions For Using the Microwaves.

Too many people put food in the microwaves and then forget them.  Some times the food gets burned when left unattended.  Burnt popcorn is a classic example.  Other times the food is just left in the microwaves.  This inconveniences the next people who wish to use the microwaves.   Besides,no one enjoys smelling your warmed up cabbage so the sooner you eat it the better.

Barn Cats.

While driving through the country side the other day, I noticed a sign in the front yard of a farm advertising “Barn Cats”.  Since the sign was professionally made, I assumed that momma cat must have kittens on a regular basis.

However, after seeing the same sign for several months, I noted that “Barn Cats” was the name of a service that does barn work.  The sign was hard to read because it was so small, so I don’t know if they do barn repair or build new barns or both.

I wonder how many people stop in there looking for kittens?

Shaken Not Stirred.

I like to buy natural crunchy peanut butter.  And, since it is natural with no additives, the oil and nuts often separate in the jar while it is sitting on the shelf.  This means that in order to use it, the oil and peanuts must be recombined.

At first I used to try to stir them back together.  Unfortunately, the oil often would jump over the side of the jar and create quite a mess.

Finally, I started just shaking the jar instead.  And, to my surprise, it worked quite well.  After about 30 seconds of vigorous shaking, the peanut butter was homogenized, no fuss, no muss.

Training Wheels.

Well, the other day I saw a first, a unicycle with training wheels.  It looked like a tricycle with no handle bars and a seat where the handle bars should have been located.

I didn’t realize that unicycles had training wheels.  I always figured that you just learned how to ride by trial and error like juggling.  Then on the other hand, maybe it was just a tricycle with a seat where the handle bars should have been located.
