Hubby and I have been married for more than fourteen years now, and it has been educational, to say the least. The neighbours have asked me about the "industrial strength bug zapper" they have witnessed in our garage, for example, and I have had to explain what a Tesla coil is. (And you don't realize how much "Tesla coil" sounds like "testicle" until the neighbours give you a long look of shock and disgust and pure wonderment.)
There's also the fact that Hubby speaks a language all his own -- one in which I've had to become fluent over the years. Often I will come home to a note requesting that I "escort the largest quadruped to the rear exterior of the dwelling for waste elimination, and engage the security devices on the portals," or "please initiate electron flow to the dihydrogen monoxide extractor." (The first one says "put the dog out and lock the doors," and the second says "turn on the dryer.")
Well, Hubby has had more unsupervised time on his hands lately, with me working nights, and last night when I went to turn on the light switch at the top of the stairs, I discovered that it now has "instructions."
Feel free to click the photo for a larger version so you can play along at home. Post in the comments if you want to translate what it says. :)

The aim of this missive in saving photons is being undermined by the waste through paper usage and redundant instructions. It is not logical to use so many words when a much simpler instruction would suffice: Turn off the lights. Safe navigation of the elevation modification system would be ensured by the use of a much smaller photon-emitting device designed specifically for that purpose.
(btw, I love the illustrations)
I love the fact that he took the time to measure and cut out the space for the light switch. :)
Turn out the light.
The man clearly has too much time on his hands.
