And let me use this moment to vent about the brave new world of
icons-only. When I'm drunk, I WANT to see "women" on the restroom
door, not have to wonder whether the icon is wearing a skirt or a
kilt.

I'd settle for "XX" instead of "women", but that's just the the
genetics-geek in me. My least favorite cute-name-set for bar bathrooms
was "buyers' and 'sellers'. It WAS very clever, and I THOUGHT I could
guess rightly, but I got on my motorcycle and headed to the next town
rather than risk it. :)
