Bring Back "Men" and "Women"

I had lunch at a popular local restaurant the other day with a friend and business associate.  Throughout our meal and engaging conversation, I consumed 3-4 big glasses of water.  (This was in obedience to a Chinese acupuncturist whom I visited recently, who diagnosed me by having me stick out my tongue and scream in her Asian accent; "Ooooh…yo tongue is greasy!!!  You need to eat veg-i-ta-bul and drink rots of water to balance CHI".  "That will be Ninety-dollar pweeze…we not take American Express!" ).  But that's another story…. 

Needless to say, by the end of our meal, all of that CHI-balancing water had commanded my attention. Politely, I excuse myself from the table and proceed with a purpose to the back of the restaurant where I'm stopped cold in my tracks…momentarily confused by what I saw.

Now I'm a logical man, fairly intelligent, observant…etc, and I enjoy clever graphical signs that bring humor to our otherwise mundane lives, but this is NOT the time or place to force someone to process any type of cute message or conclusion other than "MEN"  or "WOMEN".  

You need to understand something Mr. Proprietor (which I guarantee you will once you reach the age of >50)!  When the urge to go has reached urgent status, there is nothing else the human brain can contemplate.  Time is of the essence and believe me, seconds DO matter.
 
So do us older patrons a favor, bring back "MEN" and "WOMEN".   I bet you won't get a single complaint…but you will avoid the potential risk of an emergency "watering" of your hallway ficus.
