After returning from a road trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I let my mind wander to some of the restroom perplexities of life.
- Why is the height of some toilet paper dispensers at ankle height?
- Why are some paper towel dispensers above shoulder height, allowing water to run from your hands to your armpits before the paper snatch can be achieved?
- Is there a reason that there is only a 4-inch hole from which to fish for the end of the toilet paper that is on an eighteen-inch mega roll?
- How are we to guess which arm waving gyration will illicit the dispensation of papers, lotions, foams?
- After washing your hands, are we really safe from deadly disease for the day if we open the door with a towel, then hold the door open while balancing on one foot so that we can make the trash can shot?
- What is the average number of pumps to the foam or soap dispenser for a thorough hand clean?
- Do those flat rolls of toilet paper that stop after you've taken two squares really save trees?
- Are the new foams a money saver or do the pouches that they come in cost the owner more?
- Does toilet paper that is as thin as the wings of a gnat requiring the user to pull off 350 yards in order to accumulate a finger-tip wad really cut back on total paper usage?
- How many paper towels does it take to dry hands and doesn't it depend on the size and thickness of the towel?
- Is there a huge lucrative market for inventing a truly unique and confusing restroom paper or soap dispenser?
- Whatever happened to those cloth towels that you dried your hands on and then they wrapped back up into the machine?
- Did the guy who picked up those dirty towels die of some dread disease?
- Do most people just wipe their hands on their dirty jeans (which have been sitting in who-knows-what over time) after trying the power air dryer?
- How do the cleaning people feel about clean-up after liquid soaps vs. foams?
- Does an increase in mileage between available restroom facilities directly correspond to a decrease in cleanliness?
- When the sign says, "Restrooms Are For Customers Only," and your car doesn't need gas, do most people buy something to be a customer?
- If we didn't consume a cooler full of snacks and drinks, would there be a need for all the stops?

Very deep thoughts of the very important bathroom. How would we live without it? These questions would should be framed for bathroom entertainment. We sure had fun last night... let's do it again :)
haa haa love it! my favorite is the towel dispenser above shoulder height that just makes the water run down your arms before you can grab a towel, somebody's idea of a cruel joke i suppose.
I always buy something so that I can use the "for customer only" bathrooms.
Turns out I'm a stickler for rules....
