Ah, the wisdom of Dora the Explorer. The only thing missing is a note about using air freshener if you’ve funked up the loo.

This is a sham! The real Dora would have said this in english and spanish.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Gotta love Dora and her ways.
It’s better than the sex ads I usually see on the inside of a stall door.

On the subject of restroom rehab, I actually commissioned my (very artistic) 12YO daughter to make a card/sign for our stinky employee restroom with two choices for air fresheners. I wish I still had it to take a pic of and submit. It said something like:
“Employee’s Choice: Please use! Mango Lily or Seaside Escape”
It worked. It must’ve been the operative word of “choice”.
I love this site. Love it!

Totally agree with little voice about this being a fake. The real Dora would at least have said “gracias”.

Perhaps it says “gracias” under the piece of foamcore that says “and please flush” that was taped to the sign…

This is what they should be selling with the t-shirts and tchochkies outside of the Dora Live shows. I would have gladly bought the sign instead of the light up wand for my daughter.

At my office there is a sign in one stall in large bold type advising us to make sure we COMPLETELY flush the toilet. Apparently some past disgruntled employee would take a daily dump in there and purposefully leave it for all to view. After working there a year and a half I can hardly blame the woman.
