  There is so much at which to be careful they should not call it a “rest” room. On the other hand they sure do have it right calling the doctor’s office a “waiting” room.

Love your gentleman’s guide. But I think you might have forgotten one more thing: to recommend even gentlemen to sit down in an airplane lavatory… Oh – or is this the subject of your next guide? *chuckle*
Well done! 🙂

Hilarious. I hate when there’s no toilet paper. I just hate public bathrooms. I got trapped in one once. I had to crawl under the door to escape. It was a trying experience.

Per the photo obviously humans in centuries past weren’t quite as phobic about their natural bodily functions as we are today. Actually when I was growing up (years and years ago) in rural Virginia…everybody’s outhouse but ours was a 2 seater…so I understand about communal toileting. And since there was plenty of land around our homestead if an extra toilet was needed…you dug a slit trench albeit in a secluded place…preferably not in the poison ivy (another story) 🙂 loved your post Carl 🙂

They have the same ones in Ephesus. 😀 Wonder if the drainage links? 😀

  Perhaps some of Paul’s letters will disclose that.

  Good point. Ancient people were smarter than which we give credit. Of course lack of privacy was the trade off.

…make sure edge of counter or sink is dry. My favorite. Great post, Carl.

As one of seven kids, who lived in a small house with one toilet I know all about waiting.
