Sage advice: Difference between revisions

<pre>I was in the bathroom of a deli

standing at the urinal

reading the trap...

what I mean is

there is a plastic cover

over the urinal drain

to keep out - I don't know

napkins or hamburger buns or something

and this one had a message on it

it is weird enough

to be a company that makes

urinal traps

but to print your name

and phone number on them

I don't understand that

if I was in need of a urinal trap

I would look in the phonebook

or on the internet

I would not think,

"what was that number

I was pissing on last week..."

but there I was

pissing on the name of the fine company

that protects California's urinal drains

I almost felt sorry for them

but this trap wasn't satisfied to advertise only itself

it also had an important message for me:

just say no to drugs

I found that somewhat odd advice

to be getting from a deli toilet

but what do I know

it may be a terribly effective anti-narcotic tool

of course if you are at a place in your life

where you are making decisions

based on the messages you get from toilets

you may have bigger problems

than just the drugs you are taking

if it hadn't been

well

a urinal trap

I would have stolen it

and propped it up on my window sill

mainly to have proof of its existence

but also to remind me

to stay away from the kind of drugs

that urinal trap makers

seem to be taking</pre>
