Who is the beast here, the gorilla or the humans?

Confusing signs on the bathroom doors at McGuire's Irish Pub have played jokes on customers for years, sending women to the men's room and vice versa.

In the near future, everything that gives people a small ray of sunshine will be gone. Thanks for sucking all the fun out of life.
