Many years ago, while waiting in a queue at the bank, I noticed that some
wag had rearranged the "NEXT TELLER PLEASE" sign at an empty
window (the old type of sign which comprises small white plastic push-in
characters on a slotted black felt background) so that it read "NEXT
TELLER ASLEEP".  I thought it was hilarious, although for some obscure
reason, when I told the teller to whom it referred, she was not the least
bit amused.
