I've seen this one! I was actually doing an image search for that graphic so I could describe it to someone. I forget exactly where it was, I think in some truck stop between GA and either FL or SC.

Thank you, Morgan--I am going to attribute at least 10 points on my composite score to your keen insight. Assuming it goes up.

It became an obsession that I could indulge almost anywhere. That was back in the 1970's when consumers weren't important. Just this past week my university installed automatic towel dispensers in our restrooms. The instructions are a nice icon of a hand waving at me. I'll up load a shot of it to Flickr on Monday. I get smile each time I see the waving hand. It is so much nicer than 250 words on a plate of metal. (Too bad they installed it inches from the sink and at shoulder height. Each time I lean in to the faucet I get a new feed of paper. Or maybe that was intentional? I do save a second or two not having to wave at a machine hanging on the wall.)
