Curious Plumbing: The Funniest Bathroom Signs

Theorists on humour (yes, there are people out there who spend their lives working out why we laugh) all agree that one of the first sorts of a humour any person learns is toilet humour: bum jokes. It’s what leaves kids laughing hysterically, and it can still tickle an adult’s funny bone when done just right.
