Yes, yes, state of the union was yesterday, seeing heavy-handedness followed by lies, yadda yadda yadda, warra warra warra. Talk about that crap amongst yourselves and leave me out of it. No, for me the proof was this morning (for the umpteenth time ( Read more... )

We all have our little crosses to bear, and mine's a whole frigging toilet! An Indian guy I work with will use the urinals, but he'll hand on to his dumps until he gets home, thank you very much. I wish I had his control.

Um, I hate to be the one to have to go here... But wouldn't that make your friend the ultimate in anal retentive? Surely you don't want to be classified as such in the most literal sense.

Point taken.

Heh. After reading your description, somehow "Oooh! That's where I want to have sex!" wasn't the first thought that occurred to me. :)

LOL. That's just me trying to put us down, in case any of my American friends thought I was serious or putting the US down too much. And for a couple of my friends, this is not the first time they have read a rant of mine on this subject.

Heh. I agree with you. Though I recall that Britain had some toilets with too-low barriers as well. Probably a Bush/Blair thing.

(Hope some of you laughed at the slash. :) )

Hah! In South Africa we actually say, "I'm going to take a slash," when we go to take a pee! Hehe

The moral of the story folks is to come to South Africa ad experience something unique ;P

The truth is, on a mildly serious note, there is no such thing as, "the greatest country in the world." Anyone who is well-traveled or well-informed knows this. Jingoism is bad, anywhere you go.
