this is the sign above the drinking fountain in the men's locker room at the university of chicago gym.

i have always been impressed with the bold punctuation choices made by the sign's designer -four kinds of punctuation in such a small space! including a semicolon!

too bad the sign-maker couldn't find a place for an exclamation mark.
(nb: a mistake i have not repeated in this post.)

all of which reminds me that "semicolon" should be spelled "semi;colon".

thank you.
