Okay, I have fifteen minutes left today, November 19th, to tell you what Dave Barry told his readers a blog-age ago (yesterday): today is World Toilet Day.
Says who? The World Toilet Organization,that’s who. So now you know what WTO really stands for.
Here is the World Toilet Day Press Release, which lists ten things everyone can do. My favourite is number 7:
Treat the public toilet you are in, as if its in your own home.
Their punctuation. In my case that would mean cleaning it only rarely, but putting up lots of bookshelves.
Is it that time again? It seems like I just took the decorations down from last year. Toilet Day has became so commercialized that I think people are missing the true meaning. Anyway this year I’ve made a vow to cut back and told all my friends to expect less in their toilets this year and have only purchased a fraction of the spirits I usually do. Call me cheap if you want but I won’t let you spoil it for me so Happy Toilet Day to all.
Indeed – and the week before that it was national toilet day in Singapore.
The interesting this is it seems Taiwan actually is a member of the WTO after all which leaves me wondering what they are complaining about all the time.
