VABills Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 of the missing growler: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writ....mcguire/1.html AGGRAVATING/ENJOYABLE TRAVEL NOTE OF THE WEEKThe time has come. I've got to say something about the automatic flushers overtaking the public toilets of America. Entered a restroom at the St. Louis airport last Tuesday. Went into a stall. WOOOOOOOSH. That flush came from simply entering the stall. I got close to the toilet and WOOOOOOOSH. By the time I left the stall I heard that noise no less than six times. Count 'em: six flushes. How many gallons of water wasted? How many eardrums nearly punctured?
boomerjamhead Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Gee Peter, how many germs not transmitted by contact with the flush handle? Count 'em dumbass.
BRH Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 By the time I left the stall I heard that noise no less than six times. Sounds like he was having a rough go of it in there. Maybe it was the coffee.

aussiew Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Wow, Howie Mandel , there's a name I have not heard in a long time. Ha, now that was a mullet! Just saw him in Vegas in the Spring. His head is shaved now.
R. Rich Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Just saw him in Vegas in the Spring. His head is shaved now. 402984[/snapback] So, did you give him the spare change you had, or what?
Dan Gross Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 So, did you give him the spare change you had, or what? 402988[/snapback] So I guess you won't be starting a "Silent thread for Howie Mandel's career."

taterhill Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 6 flusher...sounds like he had a date with Taco Cantina
dave mcbride Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 So I guess you won't be starting a "Silent thread for Howie Mandel's career." 402996[/snapback] Mandel gets a ton of airtime in "The Aristocrats", which i just saw yesterday.
CoachChuckDickerson Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 6 flusher...sounds like he had a date with Taco Cantina 403012[/snapback] If a home, after 3, I usually go get the plunger. If in a public place if it is still there after 3 attempts to flush it down, I leave it. A work of art like that should be saved for the world to see, or at least the next poor shlub who neglected to go before they left the house.
smapdi Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Gee Peter, how many germs not transmitted by contact with the flush handle? Count 'em dumbass. 402925[/snapback] Actually, when you flush the toilet a six foot halo of germs shoots up so it really doesn't matter if you touch the handle or not. Who the hell touches the handle with their hands anyways? You have to use the good ol' shoe.

There's just something about other people's feces on the handle that makes me avoid it all together.
