        I once waited for three hours in a restaurant bathroom for an employee to come and wash my hands before I could eat. I'm lucky I didn't starve to death

            I remember "POST NO BILLS" in Canada, which would usually be covered in stenciled pictures of well known Bills, such as Clinton, Cosby, and Gates.

            That was before a lot of things. I suppose we could still leverage Murray and Bruford...

                                          @_the_cloud @pluralistic I remember it, or something very similar, but probably from about 40 years ago, so I've no memory of where it's from.

                                          @Vibracobra23 @pluralistic Found it, finally! After running as a background task all day, the LLM that I've been training for over sixty years came through and remembered where I read it. Knew it was in a book I owned and had read more than once, a very long time ago. Not exactly high literature, but "The Boy's Own Annual" (Vol. 60, 1937-38) was the source of this memory:

                                          Bill Stickers will be prosecuted
                                          The public warnings run
                                          The question we should like to ask
                                          Isβ€” what's Bill Stickers done?
