Dirty Laundry

I've spent the last couple of nights in Louisville attending a couple of different educational conferences. In the bathroom I found this little sign on the sink:



I've been amused by little signs like this before. I wrote about them here and here. Again, it's what's not being said here that is funny to me. What the hotel WANTS to write is this: "Dear Hotel Guest, let's get real. That towel you're holding ISN'T dirty. You used it once...to dry off your clean body when you got out of the shower! You and I BOTH know that towel doesn't need to be laundered right now, that you don't need a fresh towel tomorrow morning. Just hang the thing back up on the rack and let's move on with our lives."

By the way, do you want to know what I did with MY towels? I think the video below, which I thought of immediately upon seeing the sign, answers the question...



(I can't see the video.)
