On the recent subject of toilets....
[forwards deleted]
"You cannot believe the savagery with which people attack
toilets. They break the plumbing, they smash them. They
go wild. I can see how people might injure schools or places
where they've had difficulties, but I do not see how anyone
can bear a grudge against a toilet."
- Henry J. Stern,
Parks Commissioner of New York City, quoted in the New York Times
New York City opened a new public toilet complex - two stalls
for women and two stalls and a urinal for men - designed to
withstand any imaginable aggression, with prison-grade door
locks and stainless-steel everything.
