New York Penn Station, gate 8 – sign on the escalator leading down to the train platform…

So don’t get stuck in that sucker, because we can’t stop it to get you out until… uhhh… well, until the escalator’s batteries die, I guess.

On another note, that plastic cover over the button itself – it flips upward. Which means the backwards printed lettering doesn’t all of the sudden become readable like the word “Ambulance” in your rear-view mirror. Instead, it just becomes backwards AND upside down.

I have to try this. And we all know I would…

Greatest logo for a steakhouse EVER!

This is Judson’s Steakhouse in downtown Grand Rapids. Pardon the picture – I had to use my phone to take it and they don’t have a version of it online.

As a note: while it’s hard to see here, the eye is a little X! I love it. It’s enough to get me to look past the fact that everyone knows it’s impossible to balance a cow like that, alive OR dead…

You are, in fact, falling down an elevator shaft.

And informing you of that is the only purpose I can find for this bright orange and black “warning” sign, stuck to the inside of the elevator shaft. I caught a glimpse of it through the crack between the elevator floor and the wall when I was standing inside the elevator, looking out through the open doors.

So, yeah… in the evet that I ever find myself falling to my death down a dark, ominous abyss at the Springhill Suites, in my final milliseconds I’ll watch frantically for that bright orange sign in hopes of attaining at least the peace that comes with knowing how I died.
