Restroom Pondering
There's this sticker on the extra toilet paper roll that says:
'Please Conserve-Complete Other Roll First'
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the issue of conservation better addressed by the staff that supplies the paper not throwing away a partially used roll when stocking? I mean, I've seen folks skip out of a restroom right past the sink leaving a closing stall door sound and a smell that can only be politely described as 'Newly Deployed' behind them.
I'm not about to begrudge someone using a new roll if they feel like it. Come to think of it... how much money, time, and paper would they 'conserve' NOT making or using those idiot stickers? And let's not kid ourselves about the 'quality' of this product in the first place...I think it was, as the previous post mentioned...used in that Kung Fu test where he walked across the rice paper on the floor, yes? I've seen higher quality paper used as packing material.
I end this with a curse. May the person who came up with the idea of automating the flushing of a toilet be crushed under a motorized garage door. Again and again and again.

I LIKE the automated flushing toilets! Then I don't have to touch where some previous patron had just put their hand, after perhaps missing with the toilet paper...
Also, it stops the non-flushing patrons in their tracks from grossing out the next stall inhabitant.
YAY for auto-flushing toilets!
Alas, you're right; those handles *are* the origin for most bioweapons developed by the military today. That's why I use my foot to flush. All right, so they aren't all bad. WHEN THEY WORK! Otherwise....ever have somebody walk by the stall while you're waving in frustration at a toilet with a newly hatched Stinkasaurus workin' the place over?
