Our intrepid associate and senior designer Shirlee Roberts noticed this little guy over at the Spokane County courthouse last week.
On the one hand, I’m grateful that someone thoughtfully crossed out an offending letter rather than requisition a couple hundred signs declaring that “men” does not in fact mean only men, and that it is in no way a commentary on the questionable gender of certain crew members, and that diversity is a glorious mosaic and all that. (One wonders whether the two-thirds of an ellipsis is also a cost-cutting measure.)
On the other hand, I’ve been told that this figure didn’t actually work. So while that uniquely qualifies it to be a county employee, it also means it’s a big fat liar.
