Why do some guys like to mess up the walls of the corridors, bathrooms, washrooms etc., in the Martin Inn with obscene and filthy sayings? Where were they brought up?

The New Order

As a result of some men abusing the smoke areas management has drawn up a set of rules: All maintenance and construction workers must have their smoke in the area nearest to the job they are working on, and it must be between the times of 9:50 to 10:00 in the morning and 2:50 to 3:00 in the afternoon. It is up to you to determine when 9:50 and 2:50 arrives. If you miss out on this time you should obtain your foreman's permission before you smoke at other times. Contrary to rumors these rules are not the result of a decision arrived at and agreed to by your standing committee.
