They're painting the unit doors in my apartment building this week (they being the ubiquitous "they" who are responsible for making decisions about these types of things.) Well, doors and "frs" to be exact. I was a little confused by the sign, partly because I didn't know what "frs" were and also because I couldn't understand why (assuming "frs" is a shortened form of something) the entire word wasn't spelled out as there was ample room on the sign for more than 3 letters.
So then I started thinking maybe "frs" was actually an extremely abbreviated version of a much longer word that wouldn't fit on the sign, like "furnitures" or "fornicators" or "forefathers." But none of these really made any sense so I assumed, probably like everyone else, that "frs" was "frames." Doors and frames.
Three days into the exercise someone finally cleared the whole thing up once and for all by writing in pen "floors" below "frs" on the sign in the elevator. Well there you go then.
So far I haven't seen any paint on the floors, but maybe they're just covering their bases in case they spill some.
Thank goodness they're not painting the fornicators! How would I explain coming into work covered in gray paint?

a) who are you fornicating with? Aren't you fornicationless for long periods of time?
b) now I understand.. not drugs/alcohol.. it's the paint fumes... ;)
Thanks for pointing out my lack of sex life. You're a great friend. Really.
