IRONY MAN- "THE IRON MENS"

Superheroes...setting an example for the rest of us with affirmative action!

 

Thanks to Tony Stark, The Invincible Iron Man, ALL public toilets now have an Iron Men's Room.....

 

Complete with Fuel Tank Flushers, Radioactive Waste Purgers and

Battery Change Room.

I carry a Marvel Comics Iron Man action figure around with me, not so much for psychological comfort but for photo-ops like this one.

 

Spotted this sign on the Elephant Trail at the Melbourne Zoo and was immensely chuffed that the universal Men/Women symbols were the right scale for Iron Man to fit in. The proximity to the "MAKE A DIFFERENCE!" sign was additional gold.

 

He's held on using super-magnetism (well, okay, non surface damaging yellowtac!) and I swear on my honour as an Avenger that No Harm Was Done To Any Signage...it was split that way to begin with! Iron Man DID NOT suffer a Sudden Gaseous Pressure Emission in spite of the suspicious proximity of his backside to the, er, crack in the sign.

 

The figure is the 1994 Toy Biz modular armour one. It's a nice size, has limited articulation and is immediately recognizable as Iron Man....plus isn't that hard to obtain so if, say, a lion or Great White Shark eats it or somesuch while I'm out on location I'll not shed too many tears.
