THE LADIES’ ROOM

I had a delightful lunch today with a couple of friends at Applebee’s . But I swear I almost thought I would have a heart attack. During lunch I made a trip to the ladies’ room. But as I grasped the door handle on leaving the ladies room, I glanced up and saw a disturbing sign. It said, “Gentleman”. Oh my lord I thought did I just use the men’s room? And I quickly dashed out, hoping no one had seen me.

When the door shut behind me I turned my head to look again to see how I could have made such a mistake. But lo and behold the sign on the entrance did in fact say “Ladies.” Well of course, I admonished myself, I had not seen any urinals in the restroom. How foolish I was to have fallen for such a silly trick. Upon leaving the restaurant I joked to the hostess that I almost had a heart attack. And to my surprise she told me that sign has hung on the door for the past 20 years, just as a sign saying “ladies” hangs in the men’s room!! Guess the joke is on me. I’ve eaten at Applebee’s many times over the years and NEVER before noticed it.
