    And that is the signage on MY shop window.

    However, most people still bring in their foods and drink despite
    the sign AND still ask to use the bathroom. :(

    Yeah... sounds hilarious at first. But when you think about
    it, it makes sense. An employee can keep an eye on the cash
    register. But the station washrooms are often out of sight.

    I enjoyed most the Red Skelton shows when the TV signal was
    good. That sure was a l-o-n-g time ago!

    The only "dirty word" I ever heard him use was the same one
    that Clark Gable used in "Gone With The Wind" over 80 years ago.
    He fought long and hard with the Motion Picture Association Of
    America, as they wouldn't let him say "Damn"...and I think he
    threatened to quit the movie.

    Now, that's so commonplace, it's pathetic.

    I'm surprised how often I hear the word "Bitch" on TV now. Not just "late night" TV either, just regular prime time.

    Not that I think it's a bad word or anything, but when I think back to when I was younger, it was never something you heard on TV at all. Usually just movies.
