There's a building nearby that has a big sign on the door of the men's room
that says "ACCESSIBLE RESTROOM", and while I know what it means (and am all
in favor of it) I still can't help imagining each time I see it that
somewhere in the same building, in a crawlspace above the 5th floor, is a
door that's welded shut that has a sign on it saying "INACCESSIBLE
RESTROOM".

(it must be a mental disease because no one else I've met imagines that
sort of thing)
