MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO US
A pizza restaurant in China has confused customers by using banana and peach signs on the gents and ladies toilet doors.

I wish I could link to an example, but I remember a pair of signs in Thailand that were completely unambiguous - little nude cartoon people emitting dotted streams in two different ways.

Was the banana curved up or down?

In the meantime, enjoy
this bathroom sign

In the words of the Steve Miller Band... "I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree".... seems obvious to me which bathroom is which.

WOW! The type-tards with held my post for review by The Dave because of content.
"Suppose if they painted hands onto the fruit it would be less confusing?
They're actually uni-s3x bathrooms. One for slim people, the other for rounder people.... what's so confusing about that?"
*wonders if it was the hand positions or the s3x part*

Guys are the peach, as this blog helpfully pointed out previously . . .

The ways of the bot are mysterious, Kibby.
I guess we can assume (so to speak) the banana was for guys?

They could have used a hotdog on one and a bun on the other. Or a pencil on one and a pencil sharpener on the other. Or an eclair on one and a doughnut on the other.

Makes me wonder just what is going on in the produce cooler then.

Not very civil behavour by them MKJ.
Anyone ask if the banana was circumcised?
...poor reporting...

Man (to woman): "I'm 'Banana'. Know why they call me that?" *smirk*
Woman: "Because you have brown spots and go soft quickly?..."
