Please Flush Twice, It's a Long Way to Saint Mary's.
FOUND by Mike in Dal University, Halifax, Canada
Found this on the wall behind the toilet in the Risley bathroom. Shows some tension between two universities close together.

It's a long way to Tipperary too, about three flushes.

It's even further to the SMU where the Bush presidential library is going to be planted.

They need something there in addition to his books.

Both of them.

One of which he hasn't finished coloring yet.

Today's water saving tip:

If it's yellow, let it mellow.
If it's brown, flush it down.

Is it just me or does the paper look like it has dried?

We had a little cabin near the beach with ancient toilets. My mom put a sign above it that said "Pee no, Poo do." (Kind of along the lines of John's comment above).

It might be worthwhile for the Custodial staff to look into fixing the toilets. This could seriously cut down on their water consumption. The fact that they are asking people to flush twice is ridiculously wasteful. I hope people ignored the note when it was posted.

Is the end of this notice missing?

'Custodial sentence and/or heavy fine if you don't'??

I have 5 people in my house using one potty. If you let the yellow mellow, you get an oh so vile smellow.

Is Custodial a person's name? Or an adjective .. custodial what? custodial staff? custodial parent? custodial custodial custodial custodial custodial custodial custodial custodial custodial

If you say it a whole bunch of times it sounds funny an if you type it a bunch of times it looks funny.

Maybe I have a fever, sorry.

John, fyi, if I remember right, that French quote came from Herb Caen's column, San Francisco, 1970s-era energy crisis.

You sound like me yesterday, Clover. We were walking by a construction area and I told my daughter to look at the new curb they put in. "...curb, curb, curb, that's a funny word, curb, curb, curb. Curb next to the side walk, walk, walk, walk, walk is a funny word too." She just kind of rolled her eyes and said that all words sound funny.

That was a funny work to me when I was younger.

house, house, house, house, house, house, house...

And yes, typing such words over and over does make them look extremely foreign. You really start to question your reigning 2nd grade spelling bee championship after a while.

I think this find is an unfinished note (possibly written by the ADHD computer from Tuesday's find) intended for Gargamel:

Please flush toilet twice. It's a long way back to Smurf Village.

Clover, you crack me up.
As for the find, meh. Ancient jokes never die, they just show up again and again.

When I was in highschool, it was written on the wall in the john:
"Flush twice, it's a long way to the cafeteria."

We had auto-flush toilets at my old University, since people couldn't be counted on to flush for themselves.
Depending on what building you were in, it was either that the students "had too much on their minds," "were too stupid," or "were above such common actions."

And on the side note of words sounding strange: I just spent 20 minutes trying to explain to my supervisor the meaning of the obsolete word "fardels."
"No," I said, "it has nothing to do with bodily functions. You know the quote 'Who would fardels bare, To grunt and sweat under a weary life'?"
*Supervisor giggles*
I just gave up after a while.

Also, repetition: not nec funny.

Be nice. Flush twice. I've had to say this too many times at my house. Now that I've said it on the world wide web, I should print this up, complete with comments, and tack it up on the wall where it can be read regularly. Don't make me come in there.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Clover. I hope you can take tomorrow off work and be feeling better for the weekend.

Pepper, FYI, SMU is not in Denton--it's in Dallas. (You were referring to the one on Texas, right?)
