A few nice stairway elevator images I found:
Use Stairway

Stairway in Tour Eiffel

Stairway in one of the pillars of the Eiffel Tower.
Below the steps, you can see the elevator shaft.
The entrance fee for the stairway is cheaper than that for the elevator. Besides, this is probably the faster way to enter the tower, as people can wait hours to take the elevator.
You think you’re being healthy. You choose the stairs instead of the elevator, and you run up the stairs. By the third landing, you’re starting to gasp for breath. And then some bastard walks by in the midst of a flatulence emergency! [koff] [choke]
Leno needs to get ahold of this ….very funny
wow, you even changed the braille??? That takes dedication!
Post here: Strange and funny signs
Hi. I’m an admin for a group called American English, and we’d love to have your photo added to the group. Thanks!
So you actually changed the Braille too? Now that is true craftsmanship.
LOL
I think you can figure it out, topquark… unless you need to buy a "D", an "S" or a "W". I used a free braille font. It wasn’t perfect.
Very funny! The braille says: "IF YOU NEE TO FART U E T E TAIR AY". What does it mean?
these are hilarious, people at work think I’m laughing to myself over here
How do the blind find the sign, telling them to take the stairs?
Thank you, everyone!
I added this great shot to the Showoff For OthersGroup because I like it!

Very funny sign, please add it to http://www.flickr.com/groups/signs-ofthetimes/
yes!
Took a ‘business etiquette’ quiz one time:
Q: You’re on the elevator at work when you’re suddenly overcome by powerful flatulence. At the next floor, your boss, his boss the VP and her boss, the CEO all get onto the elevator. What do you do?
A) Avoid eye contact and pretend there’s nothing wrong
B) Mumble an apology and get off the elevator at the next stop
C) Look each of them in the eye and challenge anyone to do better!
HAHA, I love this … especially the fact that the braille was changed, awesome!
Great stuff!
Makes me wonder, though, just why the sign isn’t real. Particularly in *wait for it* WINDY HILL. Fnaaar, fnaaar, fnaaar. Okay, I’m going.
*wipes tea off monitor*
*:D
Thank you…
I’m not disappointed, you made me laugh!
No! I thought it was a real sign on a real elevator, in some classy
hotel somewhere. Now I find its just some lonely Flickr clicker with too much time on his hands.
I am so disappointed.
Beautiful, dear, beautiful.

Thanks for adding this shot to the Interestingness pool.
Dont know if someone would use the elevator after reading this sign
DD
This sign is next to the elevator at the Hilton Garden Inn on Windy Hill in Atlanta, GA.
You do realize I altered it some… don’t you? Originally, it said "In Fire Emergency Do Not Use Elevator Use Stairways". I changed the words and adjusted the flames by turning them 90 degrees clockwise so as to appear as though they are coming out of the guy’s backside.
I also made sure the braille was appropriately changed too, by finding a braille font online.
Here’s the original:
Ha, Hilarious sign, i’d really like to know where u discovered this sign, i like the fact that it include Braille as well! But the point being where is the sign placed so as to make appropriate use of using the Braille inscription
haha! i guess flatulence emergencies affect everyone – that’s why the sign includes brail for the blind?
Hilarious. Where did you come across this sign? In Copenhagen, I came across an elevator with a call button that said "I fart".
sometimes signs are simple.. yet amazing! thank you. will enjoy coming back ot see more.
lol
Hysterical…….Saved as favorite!
Rocket-powered jetpack.
hahaa the flame is a nice touch:)
hahaha what the hell!?!?
I think this sign should be posted by every elevator, as a courtesy.
In such cases, the stairs is a must. We must think of the poor victims.
*haha* This is funny – but true!
I noticed they had it in Braille. You could say that the flatulence is for the benefit of the blind.
Use Stairway…Please.
hilarious!!
…but true.
good advice. it’s never fun being stuck on the elevator during a flatulence emergency.
