A good toilet in a public establishment is one of the most under rated items on planet earth. If I ever open a restaurant or retail shop, I'm going to design the entire operation around the men's room. The ladies room will be even nicer.
There's not much worse than eating out with your wife and friends and just as you finish a nice cold Miller Light and your first cheeseburger, "BOOM", you're hit with a gut rocket. You know from experience it has very short fuse.
You excuse yourself from the table and after nonchalantly asking the waitress "Where would I find the restroom", you slowly walk in that direction. You try to convey to the other restaurant patron's you're in no real hurry, when the fact is you're set to go off like a road side bomb and only through the grace of God will you have even the slightest chance of arriving at your destination before there's really no longer a need for it (unless the bathroom it's equipped with a shower and a men's clothing store).
You scream around the corner, hit the bathroom door hard enough to take it off it's hinges, scramble inside and to your horror, you find there's only one stall and based on the commotion coming from the other side of the door, it's apparently occupied by at least one very large fat man and perhaps 3 or 4 circus midgets. Son of a gun!
By some miracle you're able to hold on until the Ringling Brothers side show is finished. When you finally sit down to what might be the greatest relief of your life, you realize there's no lid, no paper and enough "fluid" on the floor to wash down a medium sized elephant. The only bright spot in this entire operation is you won't have to slip out the back door and zoom home for a quick shower and change of clothes.
Thanks Mrs. Restaurant proprietor for having the fore thought to at least provide me with a "hole"....very thoughtful.
