Relentless exposure to awful puns hasn’t yet been explicitly singled out as a form of torture, but employees at this office in Australia might be able to make the case that it qualifies as “extreme mental distress.”
Apparently the strategy here was that for every day the kitchen’s cutlery situation went unresolved, up went another note — with progressively groan-worthy puns each time. (It took until “Spatchalator” for someone to cry uncle.)

I actually would enjoy these puns, and keep leaving things out of place just to see the next installment. How far would they go, I wonder?

I sink this is terrible behaviour in an office environment. Just a bunch of wet rags.

Why did they not say “Spooner or plater?” Might as well go all out.

T’would be best to exsponge these notes spoon or else some employees may wok out.
Personally, I think it’s a crock.

PA notes in well-kerned Helvetica with appropriate use of font weights? Been a while since I’ve seen that.

Puns are told for the pleasure of the teller, not the listener.
Never has this been so apparant.

Dunt. That is the most descriptive word for this poster. More of a contraction than a pun, but it is the most descriptive.

What’s the deal with the “instant boiling water” sign? How is it instant? Just add water?
