Another perspective on liquidity

Seen in the 12th floor men’s room at the New York Fed, right above the urinals, the following sign:

Report All Leaks to

extension 5619

I was sorely tempted to report a recent leak to extension 5619. Somehow I refrained (visions of my mother, my wife and my daughter all shaking their heads). Pity.

  1. Hmmm….5619 seems to be the same extension seen above the toilets at BSC in early March.

    Report All Dumping to Ext. 5619.

    Who is trying to find out about all this leaking and dumping?

  2. I saw a similar comment in a US multinationals men’s room: “Please leave the facilties in the state in which you found them”. Presumably transporting toilets across state lines is a federal offence.
