Say What?

Our plant is No Smoking inside, has been for years, but apparently some people on the off shifts think it is OK to take a few puffs every now and then in the restrooms. First a simple smoldering cigarette with the international red slash through it stickers were placed on all the bathroom doors. Didn’t totally eliminate the problem. Then they placed some official looking signs that had the word NOTICE on top with the phrases No Smoking, No Eating, & No Drinking in every restroom. I guess that wasn’t totally successful either as now we have some 8-1/2 x 11 laminated sheets of paper tacked to all the bathroom doors that say, “Smoking in unauthorized areas of the plant is prohibited and will result in discipline action.”

I’m no English major, but shouldn’t that be disciplinary action?

I have been trying to have a glass of red wine with dinner for a while now, the antioxidants or whatever are good for heart health (I also read Playboy for the articles.) After a bit of experience I have decided that I like Pinot Noir [PEE-noh NWAHR] the best of all the reds. I am working my way through the varieties at my local grocery store in search of my favorite inexpensive (under $15 a bottle) pinot. The latest one I found has three monkeys on the label in the classic see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil pose and it is called Pinot Evil.

Cute, I thought at first, but the more I analyzed it, shouldn’t the label have just one monkey standing upright with his back to us and stream of er, well, you get the picture…
