In the barroom of my Grandmother's hotel (in Creede, CO) was a sign that said:

What you do here
What you see here
What you say here
Let it stay here
When you leave here.

I first noticed it about the time I was able to read (late 1950s) and already
then it looked like it had been hanging on the wall for a while -- she bought
the hotel in the late 1940s.
