Over the years, my husband and I have usually managed to decode the cute
but confusing gender signs sometimes put on restaurant restroom doors
(Buoys and Gulls, Laddies and Lassies, etc.), but every so often we get
stumped.
Recently my husband wandered off in search of the men's room and
found himself confronted by two marked doors. One was labeled
"Bronco," and the other was designated "Cactus."
Completely baffled, he stopped a restaurant employee passing by.
"Excuse me. I need to use the restroom," he said. Gesturing toward
the doors, he asked, "Which one should I use?"
"Actually, we would prefer you to go there," the employee said, pointing
to a door down the hall marked "Men." "Bronco and Cactus are private
dining rooms."
