Out of order indeed

When I saw this bathroom in Suwanee, Ga., I couldn't help but think of the Leelee Sobieski vehicle Joy Ride. Can't say why, though.

I took the plunge

I'm sure you're anxious to hear about my week in America's lawless west. Just how lawless is it? Well, here's photographic evidence, from a gas station bathroom in Hallelujah Junction, Calif.

And ladies, please lower it

I spotted this a while back in the non-gender specific bathroom at a bar in Cambridge. I don't know why, but I find it very entertaining.


Bonus points if you can name the bar.

Now that's what I call graffiti

I'm not a big fan of graffiti in bathrooms, because I think a bathroom is a place for quiet repose, not information on what numbers to call for a good time.

But this defacement is a nice one, spotted in one of my regular haunts.

Back to the bathroom

This post may help explain one of yesterday's comments.

I'm pleased to report that the men's room at the widget factory where I'm employed is once again in full working order. For nearly two weeks, this was the situation, more reminiscent of a bloody crime scene than a room for quiet repose:


Needless to say I'm relieved everything is back to normal. I gave that right-hand urinal a test run after service was restored yesterday. To be honest, it left me wanting a little more. It was out of order so long, I guess I was hoping for a gold-plated handle, or at least a more powerful flush. I'm angry about it, but I wouldn't say I'm pissed.

Can't miss business plan

Business idea: I will buy used jet engines and convert them into hand dryers to sell to bars.

They will be the only commercially available hand dryers that are more powerful than the Xlerator, above left. While the Xlerator can make your skin ripple, my 747 engines will actually rip damp skin right from your hands.
