Worse are public restrooms. Ever have problems starting because you know there’s someone at the next stall? This may be the dumbest one yet. I mean, public restrooms are designed for two purposes - washing and toileting (toy-let - vb., to utilize the porcelain god). Everybody’s there for the same reason, so why be embarrassed? I’m terrified to emerge from a stall for fear of having to accept responsi- bility my actions. “Hey guys!” I can see the guy in the next stall call out as he opens the door to the restroom. “Check out what this guy’s doing! Can you believe it? In a restroom!” And then they’d put a scarlet letter on my other buttock and my social life would be as successfbl as A-ha’s grand comeback tour.

Bathroom, restroom, men’s room, little girl’s room, water closet, WC (that’s doo-bluh-vaysay in French), lavatory, the can, the john, the loo, the caca kitchen, the poopoo palace, the feces factory - no matter how base the potty humor I’m using for a cheap laugh, it’s the same place.
