Please Don't Eat The Scrubby!

For a long while, someone was taking away our scrubbies. I would bring them to work to clean dishes in our common area sink. Usually the scrubby would be fine for about two weeks, and then it would disappear. I decided that maybe someone thought it was "used" and needed to be thrown away. And just maybe, that someone might speak Spanish as a primary language. So with the help of one of my very good Spanish speaking friends, I created a little sign regarding the scrubbies. The sign worked like magic. The red scrubby has remained at the sink for months and months now. Maybe someone should at this point throw it away, but I think it is doing just fine. So I was quite amused when someone added a sign to mine. As you can see in the fotografía (or if you prefer en français, photographies), our sink is quite the lively multi-lingual gathering spot now.

I am told on good authority that what our wry French speaking friend actually said here was, "Please don't eat the scrubby."
