Mondays and Toilets

Well, quesolitos, it's another beautiful monday, so get out there and get to work. You know, you may not hear it much from those around you, but the honest truth is that I appreciate the worl you do to keep this great nation of ours afloat with industry. God bless the working man--that's what I say. Actually, I have to be honest, and--while I don't always say that (read: don't ever say that)--let you know that I would agree with that statement most of the time...that might be more accurately put. Nevertheless, God bless the working man (twice...and counting).

So, another Mother's Day is past and I am excited (not exited as I first typed), because my own mama shows up today. She is driving all the way to Whitebread, USA from Hotlanta, GA. Wow! We have all sorts of mother/son fun planned, like redoing the crapper. Really, we are going to remodel that guest bathroom that looks like my great grandmother picked out the designs. Wish me luck.

By the way, I was shopping for a new toilet in Lowe's the other day when I came across a toilet that had the following sign hung on it by the manufacturer to entice you to buy it:

WOW! THIS TOILET FLUSHES UP TO TWO DOZEN GOLF BALLS IN ONE FLUSH!!!

ALright, now this should make you think, and think I did, but not about how great the toilet was. I first thought, what moron flushes golf balls. Second, I figured this was the same genius who thought up Ginsu Knives ad campaign where they let you see how it could cut a lead pipe in half--Sounds great, how about cutting pot roast? Third, I quickly realized that this thing had the power to suck the clothes right off of your body if you were too close when it flushed. None of these were strong selling points.

I do have my standards. We went with the chair height bowl--crucial, not as much squatting involved. Second, we went extended front--another comfort decision. Third, we went with the white bowl--not cream, eggshell, or tarheel blue as the case is with our current fixture.

Don't worry I will let you know how it works. I know you really want to know.

Did you know they have toilets that have heated seats? Rad.

Well, my cousin and his wife are in town, along with his dad and her mum, so back to entertaining I go. Enjoy your mondays.

God save the Cheese.
