I had lunch at Mezcal Taqueria today on West El Camino near Truxel Road. It wasn’t bad (Hey, Taco De Sacto, can we search your site to see if you’ve reviewed a restaurant already?) and I would go back again. What was bad, though, was the mixed messages in the restroom.
As I walked in I noticed a sign indicating that workers are required to wash their hands before returning to work. You know the sign, we’ve all seen it. However this one had a little twist…
“Common Decency and the State Law Health and Safety Code Require That You Wash Your Hands Before Leaving This Room to Resume Work”
Perfect for passiveaggressivenotes.com, huh?
Whatever happened to
common anything?
My lesson in common decency continued when I noticed this sign advertising a taxi company (it’s a horrible camera phone shot, I know) having to do with a girl that is unattractive at 10:00 p.m. but more desirable throughout the night until it is time to call a taxi, or something, I’m not quite sure. Has anyone else seen it? So odd.

Is that the only instance of “common decency” and “California State Law” being in synch? Badda BING!

The “common decency and state law” signs used to be de riguer back in my yoot.
They were usually defaced with some comment or other after the “requires that you” part. My favorite one, although I’m a lifelong Democrat, was “Common Decency & State Law Require that.” and then the wag scrawled “tip your hat to Republicans”
I guess you had to be there but it still amuses me.
