There is a story behind this. A fire was set in the bathroom. The bathroom was closed. The rumor was circulated -- note the passive voice; I should say that colleagues passed on the rumor that seemed to come from no one in particular -- that the bathroom would not be reopened because the whole floor is moving to Kalmanovitz Hall in two months, and the floor will be renovated.
I was moved to action. I fashioned a video petition. I was ready to collect signatures. The morning after the vid was done, I discovered the bathroom was.... Well, not tanned, fit and ready. More like scrubbed, bright and ready. But I'm not one to waste a video.
This toilet humor is getting a little old.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Sir Barnaby Balfour, Oxon. and Cantab. --
ReplyDeleteIn Peace the hero gorges a dung beetle by having his slaves feed it non-stop (this leads to a good deal of scatological humor — a favorite with Aristophanes — since, of course, a dung beetle eats shit) until it grows to monstrous size
Dress it up in all the scholarly robes you like, it's still toilet humor.
