A simple white sign taped to a wall saying to put only toilet paper in the toilet, beside a smiling cartoon toilet giving a thumbs-up.
A cheerful notice with a supportive cartoon lavatory and a message of almost childlike clarity.

Transcription

Please only put toilet paper in the toilet. Thanks!

Commentary

There is something admirable about the complete absence of ornament here. The sign states the rule, thanks the reader, and provides a smiling toilet in case further persuasion is required. It treats the matter as simple, which may be optimistic, but is hard to fault as an editorial position.
