Aaron saw this in Long Beach, CA. I suppose any non-US reader might argue those are totally appropriate. Why DO we call them restrooms?

Blast! Long-time lurker to this blog, and I actually took a photo of this sign with the intent to send it in, and never got around to it!
You were on the landing to get to Catalina Island, were you not?

I am OCD re inverted commas and misplaced apostrophe's.
But I think you're right. There might be some justification for this particular set. As a Brit, I find "restrooms" a funny way to describe public toilets - certainly not generally somewhere you'd fancy lingering for a rest!
