Okay.....so the inventor of Pringles passed away and is going to have his ashes buried in a Pringles can. Yahoo for him! At least he had a sense of humor, yes? I can think of worse things. But I won't go into any of those here because I respect the delicate constitutions of all people.We vote today for city officials. In the mayor's race, it's a choice between Really Smarmy and Profoundly Smarmy. I think the guy who was running for city council - the one who peed in a bottle on a public street - is out of the race. I mean, who would want to shake his hand after he did something like that?
Speaking of handshakes made me think of hand washing which made me think of public restrooms which made me think of those automatic towel dispensers. Wave your hand in front of the little red "eye" and the paper cascades out of the machine. It either doesn't work at all or it works too damn well. You either stand there waving your arms like a hip hop dancer or you stand there and plead with it to stop vomiting. Or you walk away from it and act like you didn't notice anything amiss as the paper begins to pile on the floor.
When Beanie and I visited the largest cross in the world in Groom, Texas, the restrooms were equipped with those air dryer things. They were turbo air dryers! You hit the button and the force of the air was so strong it stretched your skin! It looked as if your hands were skydiving (when your face flaps around in the wind and your lips rip off your face)! I have a video of this dryer on my camera that I will upload to youtube (with Art's help) in a few days.
Restrooms are such interesting places. I saw a sign the other day in the ladies room that said PLEASE SIT ON THE TOILET WHEN YOU URINATE. I would like to expand that to include things other than urinating, please.
Here I go again...talking about urine.
