Today I used the restroom.
I too think that this event in and of itself is exciting enough to warrant its own blog post; however, there's a little more to this story.
As I walked into the small restaurant restroom (you know the kind - they only fit one person, two if you really like each other) and I saw that there was both a urinal and a toilet.
**For the women reading this blog, the toilet/urinal combo is not unusual.
What is unusual, however, is the internal dialog that played in my mind as I opened the door -
"Should I use the urinal? or should I go for the always reliable toilet?"
"Well...the urinal uses less water..."
"What?! "
"Did I really just consider the possible water expenditure when determining which porcelain bathroom fixture to empty by bladder into?"
"Who am I?! and why am I thinking these crazy 'environmentally conscious' thoughts?!"
(As an important point of clarification: The choice between sitting and standing never entered my mind.)
So friends - which vessel did I choose to sprinkle with my tinkle?
The TOILET.
I had to waste a little water...just to compensate for my crazy 'green' thoughts.
I think I'm going to spill a little gas next time I fill up...just for good measure.
