Had a leek that won't flush? That's one hell of a leek!
This photo was taken by me in the very office I work in. I hope whoever wrote this note won't take offence at my posting of it.

As my dad would almost definitely say, I prefer a leek to a pea.
That's a classic Dad-joke.
The second 'e' appears ever so slightly smudged; did the author perhaps pause for thought here?
The smudge is a common pitfall of using a highlighter pen to write notes. All the different widths of strokes during letter formation can a very confusing sensation for the author. I've tried it.
I suggest leaving a note back ordering that pink highlighter pens should not be used on notices for public display. Written with a pink highlighter, naturally.

I think if I'd seen that posted at my workplace, I'd have inadvertently fallen into the "leeky" toilet from laughing so damn hard. :)
