Let it be known Mr Ask and I have a quirky sense of humor. I am the sort of person who thinks your home should reflect who you are, Mr Ask is a fan of clean, classic design that keeps people guessing. But we do have a few little ways where we let out silliness show. One is our doorbell. We bought an MP3 doorbell that plays one of the following when pressed:
The Mexican Hat Dance
B52’s Love Shack (bang on the door bit)
The Rolling Stones Paint it Black
Collettes Ring My Bell
But it’s not just the doorbell, oh no. After four years of negotiation with the strata group, I finally got stairwell and hallway leading up to our flat painted, including our front door. We had a ‘do not knock’ sticker on the door to stop salespeople and religious callers from interrupting us, that was removed so the door could be painted. We wanted a sign that looked somewhat elegant but we couldn’t help having a laugh too.
So we made up a sign and put it in Ikea fame and hung it right by our door. We made the important parts clear by using bigger type but the joke is in the small print. Here it is, click on the pic to make it larger if you need to:
We’ve had a few positive comments from delivery people so far but let me know what you think by commenting here or on Facebook xxxx
