We have some nice old Russian ladies doing custodial work in our building -- and they keep shutting off a light that is supposed to be on at all times.
I need:
"Attention: This light switch must remain ON at all times by order of the Fire Marshall."

Ahhh! Very nice! I knew "Fire Marshall" was going to cause a few head scratches -- but I wanted to include it for an touch of authority. "Inspector" hadn't occured to me. Pretty clever. ;)Quote:
