not sure the math works here

So we see these signs around different public buildings. I read this one for the umpteenth time and the number 40,000 jumped out at me.

Falcon

40,000 gallons? OK, that’s 109 gallons per day, based on a full 365 days. Seems kinda high to me. If it’s a gallon per use, that’s 109 uses. Given that I could take a cameraphone picture without attracting undue attention, this facility doesn’t see that much use.

Makes me wonder how many other public statistics are similarly goofed up.
