Does anyone know of who FIRST used the following?

"ACHTUNG !!

DAS MACHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER
FINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRAPEN.
IST EASY SCHARPPEN DER SPRINGENWERK,
BLOWENFUSEN UND POPPENCORKEN
MIT SPIZTENSPARKEN. IST NICHT FÜR
GEWERKEN BY DAS DUMM KOPPEN. DAS
RUBBERNECKEN SIGHSEERE KEEPEN
HANDS IN DAS POKETS. RELAXEN UND
WATCH DAS BLIKENLIGHTS."

ALL the computer rooms I have been around ( from 1969 to the late 1980's) had one of these signs. Anyone know where the first one may have been? And are there any still in place ( besides the one I have at home)?
