Bathroom visit today produces odd thoughts!

I visited the men’s room at our office which I do more frequently as I get older. We have a small room about the size of a broom closet with a toilet and sink.

I approached the bowl and noticed a piece of paper floating on the surface. It was a printed narrow strip from a fortune cookie. It Read “You are a confident individual with both feet planted firmly on the ground”. There was also an opportunity to learn a new Chinese word and lucky numbers on the reverse side.

It is strange how many thoughts can spill through your mind in the short time it takes to empty your bladder.
My first thought was who in the hell eats a fortune cookie in the bathroom.

My second thought was do I really want to know.

I had two cups of English Breakfast tea this morning so I was Confident this was not my last trip to the bathroom.

I was confident my eyesight is far stronger than my kidneys since I was able to read the small print on the fortune as it floated in the bowl without bending closer.
I was confident I was not reaching in the toilet to flip over the fortune to find out the secret translated word or my lucky numbers for the day. If I really want to learn Chinese I get the Rosetta Stone package the next time the infomercial is on.

I was pretty confident I had my feet planted sufficient proximity to the porcelain to avoid dribbling on the floor.

I flushed the toilet feeling pretty confident that my floating lavatory fortune was accurate.

I am pretty confident that not having electricity since Monday night and attempting to sleep in a hot humid environment has caused me to go to a public forum and record my bathroom activities for the morning.

My apologies to all,

P.S. Tonight is the Mega Million lottery drawing. Now I regret not retrieving my lucky numbers.

As for Rosetta Stone, although I can only speak about Hebrew (since I did see a sample of that program), I would have to say that before getting Rosetta Stone, people are better off in being somewhat proficient in reading and/or writing the language. So anyone interested in this kind of language program should likely check that out.

Well' if you shake your wiener more than twice, that's pleasure.
Your don't get paid for pleasure around there.

So my question is - how did you turn over the floating fortune cookie paper in the toilet?

Tis the seaon for rolling brown outs-- I mean electricity, not toliet bowl "brown outs"...

I adore your musings. Yiou are very Mark Twainish

Thank goodness for who invented the sewer system-- how civil!..should be called the Civil system..OR BETTER YET; Congress

My favorite public bathroom graffiti (over the urinal) was "This is where Napoleon pulled his Bonaparte"

Talent PJ. Haven't you ever written your name in the snow or make a leaf dance?

I'm thinkin this fortune in the toilet thing may be part of a movement.

I enjoyed reading urinalysis of this unusual epissode, George.
