Ok, so honestly I've never thought of it this way...

My daughter comes to me and says ..."but I did turn it off, I thought that "NO" meant that I didn't want it "ON" ..." ... Clearly I need to start looking at things upside-down to gain this perspective I've been missing out on. :-)

    Somehow the upside down image looks like it could be the symbol for a two seat wheel chair...

    Reminds me of the story of the young lady who went into the auto parts store looking for a "710" gadget for her engine.

    I find the "On" symbol (circle with a bar) very confusing. I can never remember which way a power toggle is supposed to be pressed...

    Or our tech support line back in the early 90's, when someone was trying to build their own computer, and it let out the magic smoke...
    "Must have been an ID ten T error".

    Replace "ten" with the numeral 10. :)
