While I was dining at a restaurant not-to-be-named-on-this-blog, I couldn’t help but notice the sign in the bathroom proclaiming:

“Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work.”

I was going to spew off some commentary wondering why any restaurant would need to put up that sign in the first place, unless for some reason the management was exclusively hiring employees who had circled “I don’t know” in response to the question “What is soap?” on their application. And even if that was true, were the restaurants so desperate that they hired on-the-spot, expecting their new, untrained employees would independently figure out trivial issues like sanitation, through the form of signs?

Yes, I was going to do that, until I found out this person had already done so, and pretty humorously to boot.

So let me share with you another story I found during the course of my research involving a McDonald’s near my high school. The main point of this blog post, written by a Canadian political activist, Ezra Levant, is this:
