Here's your chance to exercise your creativity whilst playing the part of petty bureaucrat.

There's been a new service bell installed at the service window of my fire department. No longer will we be summoned to the front desk by the civilized ding of an old hotel bell, but by the electronic blat of a buzzer wired to sound throughout the building. Don't be confused, this isn't to report emergencies, this is the bell which summons us to lead firehouse tours for the local Boy Scouts and to tell Mrs. Fensterlake that we don't get cats out of trees.

So, before I go to the signmaker's shop, the question is what to say on two signs. One, with an arrow to direct the public to the buzzer, and another beneath the buzzer itself.

This way to the buzzer and it had better be good ?

and

Push only ONCE ?

All entries gladly accepted. The winnner gets a ride in a fire engine and a free trip down the pole.
