“Push Butt.” “Rub Gently Under Arm.”
Monday, 26 October 2009I am, like, 12. I realize that. Nonetheless, it gave me no end of pleasure to learn that these could still be found.
I honestly thought all the old air-dryers had been phased out and replaced with new ones with less easily vandalizable instructions. In fact, it would not surprise me if at some point during the ’90s or so, the major manufacturers addressed this internally in a series of very serious meetings. Some information-theory whiz must have been tasked with writing new copy that couldn’t be so readily altered by a child with a quarter.
Anyway, it was a nostalgia-inducing relief to discover this guy in the Wendt Library at UW. Thank you, academia!
1. that’s so 12 yr old boy. love it.
2. how fucking cool is it (pardon my french, it ain’t my blog) that Norm from Cheers has a library named after him!!
@mpf: It’s not as awesome as the Cliff Clavin Memorial Fountain and Pancake House, but it’s pretty great.
