Is this a "sign" (quote-unquote)?

One must be careful when using "quotes." Quotes can add special new meaning to otherwise plain words.

The Two Anatomys

We've seen some interesting names on door signs around campus. Based on the sign below, we're assuming both Anatomy Morgues are authorized to enter this area.

Reaching a new (fur) low

It appears furloughs will be avoided, at least for now. While it's been a difficult time for state employees, it has also been a learning experience. For example, we learned the difference between "essential" and "non-essential" employees.

Originally founded in 1905, KU Med has been at its current 39th and Rainbow location since the 1920s. By the late 1970s, a new hospital was needed.

And when that shiny new hospital was ready in 1979, of course we needed a sign ...

This sign is located in a hospital corridor. Hmmm ....

Disignabled

Atop the bluff garage, a broken sign ...
Days turn into weeks, and still the sign is not repaired nor is it removed. Pulling up in a car, a person probably can't read the sign with it leaning this way. The pavement is still marked to reserve the space, so perhaps the broken sign has been left for some "bigger" meaning to the world?


What's in a name?

This sign seemed curious. It supposedly represents Level 1 of the Medical Office Building, and yet actually displays a clinic on the 4th floor of Miller Building, not the MOB, followed by 3 individuals.
