Mixed Messages: Elevator Mishaps with The Man

I was in a building down in the Marine Industrial Park the other day and spied this new sign (to me) that featured the little man riding in an elevator. Or, little man triplets riding in the elevator. Presumably, the sign was trying to direct people as to where the elevator was. Or, it was saying that the elevator was "men only," or "three men at a time only." I don't think so though... but I was surprised that the little man wasn't donning his little dress at all.

Anyhow... I was only a few steps away when I saw another version of the sign that had clearly been worn over time. However, it seemed to change the original intention of the first sign. That is, this way to the elevator had changed to to something very different—that is, avoid the elevator at all costs.

Just look what happened to the little fella.
