		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure all of you have seen the signs in restrooms &#8212; especially in restaurants. They tend to imply, I guess, that non-employees don&#8217;t have to. Ever notice, however, that both have to use the same door handle to exit the restroom? Think about that the next time you eat out.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=saltycurmudgeon.wordpress.com&amp;blog=18051&amp;post=9&amp;subd=saltycurmudgeon&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
