Okay...so I'm walking around the kitchen area, and I stumble on a room
with several of these signs on it. It made me pause.
|

Okay...now I'm even more confused. I found this sign yesterday. I asked
what it meant, and got no real answer.
|
|

I really feel sorry for this one....

I have yet to find out why it is called a "queen
mary"....

A lot of sauces

Shrimp boat

One day a runner grabbed my knife and started to use it
to open a pickle bucket (they come in 5 gallon buckets). After expressing
my dismay, it was explained to this person that what they needed was the
bucket key...which is the above instrument.
