DEAR BENJI ...  dear dearest Benji!
 
As the one who was thinking, "Oh, geez, that's a good idea, but I don't  want 
to be the one putting that together."  I THANK you from the bottom of  my 
heart.  
 
YES, as the one tasked at a meeting to worry about the elevators, I would  
adore it if you'd work on the signs for the staircases.  SO, take on this  task. 
 But, I will be sure to have day volunteers ready and able to put the  signs 
up on Friday, so you don't have to do that.  However, any guidance  about 
certain floors that signs should be on will be welcomed.

I like this idea! Perhaps we could also do funny signs  like the old
Burmashave highway signs[1], maybe one sign per floor or a  sign every four
risers (so for each flight of stairs there is a complete  slogan).

Putting my money where my mouth is, I'm not sure I can come up  with an
entire hotels worth of witty sayings, but I'm willing to  collect
suggestions in addition to my own ideas, pick the best ones (IMO,  subject
to some oversight by "senior management"), coordinate with the sign  shop
for printing, and get the signs deployed in the hotel (this may need  to
get done by a gopher or some of my minions, depending upon my  work
schedule and general availability).
