A Swinging Door May Wake You Up

If you don't know where you are, a swinging door may do the trick. We see that's the solution the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the McGuire's came up with to end their spat over the signs on the doors to the restrooms that we blogged about here. Although the signs had been up for 10 years at McGuire's Destin location and 30 years at its Pensacola pub, the Department had found them to be confusing. It had threatened to close McGuire's for "lack of signage properly designating bathrooms."

Under the agreement, McGuire's will install a swinging door "labeled men or women as appropriate" in each of the bathrooms according to the Department's Secretary, Holly Benson. The additional doors will be installed after the main door of the bathroom and before the stalls.

This will give you a second chance to read the sign and get yourself in the right place. Well, maybe. Presumably, if you're too drunk or in too much of a hurry to read, when the swinging door hits you in the head, you'll either come to your senses or pee in your pants. Either way, you'll high tail it out of there. Problem solved.
