Just grab the end as you walk around the corner. If anyone asks about the trail of paper, the cat must have done it.....

The other day, I was driving back from a photography trip to Colorado in a rental car. Before I took the rental car back, I had to go to the bathroom. I mean I really HAD to go! So, I decided my best option was to stop at nearby Costco, which was on the way, and use their facilities. It was one of those deals where I wasn't entirely sure I was going to make it to the stall in time. When I entered the restroom, I discovered there was only ONE stall that was not occupied. I had no choice - none. Unfortunately, the stall in question was put of toilet paper, but I didn't care - I could not wait!
It was then that I found another use for those paper toilet seat covers!

Things like the picture in question make me wonder---Do construction people actually live in houses ? They do not seem to have the concept of traffic flow, use of space or anything else practical. I live in a community that is FULL of building contractors right now. Mostly self-employed, and family owned. There are large lots here, and room for all their junk ! Yes they live IN them, ON them, AROUND them. Every 10 years or so, we get a new batch of neighbors when the building industry goes broke, and they all pack up their pickup trucks, tractors, back hoes, loaders, etc. and head for the next boom town. Not the brightest light bulbs in the shed, for sure. I often think -- how do you ever retire from that ? So much for my idea of living quietly and enjoying the outdoors in the country I had when I came here 47 years ago. My little town of 16,000 people is now 100,000 and growing. At least until the next recession when they leave all the junk they have built behind, vacant, foreclosed on and overgrown. ...J.D.

Back in the 1960s, we took a trip to see Europe. While walking through Hamburg Germany, I felt the "need to go". Headed to a big department store, and asked the first clerk I saw "Bitte, wo sind die Toiletten?" (Please, where is the restroom?")
Clerk pointed to elevator, and held up five fingers.
I was really desperate, so walked *very quickly* to the elevator, hit the 5 button, and slowly rumbled up to the fifth floor. Door slid open, and I discovered -
Horror of Horrors - the fifth floor was the plumbing department. All the toilets were on public display with the bathtubs, showers, bidets, sinks, etc!
Not the relief I was seeking.
Yep - that really happened. But on that same trip, I actually had a "date" with Marlene Dietrich (Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen). Not a typical event for a scraggly 18 year old college kid from Texas.
