Yesterday I visited a United States federal building in Washington, DC. I strode along its long frontage, looking for doors to enter, as many were closed.
Then I found this one:
I meditated on this for a while, as a kind of visual Zen koan.
Chuckling, I took this photo, pocketed my phone, found a less cognitively confusing door, and entered.
Inside was a security checkpoint, with several Homeland Security officers. One looked straight at me and asked, “Why were you taking photographs of the building?”
I tried to explain the humor, but it didn’t go over well. He didn’t think it was funny.
Readers may draw their own conclusions.
Absolutely hilarious…and unfortunately a bit “telling”…..
Yes, alas.
Security people lose their humor once they clock-on. It is part of their training.
Perhaps you should be thankful that only questions were asked, and nothing more.
Yeah, I know.
And I did get a decent inspection.
As long as they are not drawing the door, presumably.
