on a billboard on my way to work:
“Do you believe in love at first zip?”
-Earthlink
doesn’t that seem a little dirty for an ISP advertisement?
On a door I pass on my way to the pop machines:
“Please do not open this door. Doing so will compromise our experiments.”
Really? What are you doing in there? It’s not dark, I can see light coming through the foil and cardboard taped on to the window. I am now OBSESSED! What would really happen? What could opening your door possibly do? Are there fearful mutants in there? Why couldn’t you have just put a “keep door closed” sign on the door, and I would have never given it a second thought. But now it’s all I can do to walk past your door WITHOUT EXERTING MASSIVE WILLPOWER TO KEEP MYSELF FROM OPENING YOUR DOOR!!!
Two doors down from previous door:
“Beware of very friendly dog”
What????? Is there a dog in your lab? I’d open the door to check, but I’m afraid that I would compromise your experiments.
On a totally different note, I just screwed up and ruined the experiment I had planned for today. I have something else I can do today, but I felt it best to give myself a little “time out” before I go ballistic and do something crazy. Like open a door.

The first zip is usually more about lust
Shouldn’t it be love at first unzip?
I think you should have gone crazy/go nuts and opened the door. Discovery is one of the keys to science. You need to discover someone getting compromised.
And take pictures.
I wish there was A Sign explaining Why Pop Is In A Machine. Doesn’t he get Hot in there?
Open the door, and just stick the camera in long enough to blast a pic, and then RUN!!!
You could just look up the directory, call the room, and ask…
You could leave a plateful of tasty Christmas cookie CRUMBS outside the door. When they ask why only crumbs, say, “Oh, I was afraid someone would STEAL all yer tasty goodies, but the sign did say don’t open the door…”
Yeah, I’m a bitch like that ~grins~
Why not just knock? Or leave a dog treat outside the dog door?
