A trope usually seen in comedy. Occurs where an institution holds a sign outside their facility stating "X days since the last [bad event]", usually a sign like this is used to indicate the building has [[No OSHA Compliance]], with work-related accidents or outlandish catastrophes being the most frequent bad event. Sometimes being reset by occurrences within the episode. An increasingly common variant is the sign having to be reset ''as it is being updated.'' Very much [[Truth in Television]] (the sign, not the comedy). |

* In one of the ''[[Acts of Gord]]'' stories, he comes up with the idea of having an "[http://www.actsofgord.com/Wrath/chapter01.php X days since I've had to deal with an idiot]" sign.
