If you sprinkle
When you tinkle
Be a sweetie,
Wipe the seatie!

We, the undersigned, of the Features Department of theNew York Journal, are hereby returning this sign, found in the restrooms on our division’s floor. While we realize that this sign is the Human Resources Division’s humorous way of dealing with the complaints of untidiness in the restrooms at 216 W. 57th Street, we find the sign offensive for the following reasons:
We in the Features Department do not “tinkle.” We urinate.
We in the Features Department do not refer to ourselves, or anyone else, as “sweetie.” (exception: Dolly Vargas has on occasion referred to people as sweeties, but not in reference to their hygienic practices)
We in the Features Department do not refer to toilet seats as “seaties.”
A more appropriate step toward maintaining an appropriate standard of cleanliness in our restrooms might be more frequent spot checks by the custodial staff.
Please do not hang signs like these in our restrooms EVER again.
Sincerely,
George Sanchez
