Sound Destruction: HAVE A SEAT....AGAIN

HAVE A SEAT....AGAIN




Taking a stroll down blogmemory lane, remember this post about the woman who burned her bum on a toilet seat? Remember how Araider enlightened us all about the sanitation of public toilets? I was reminded of it when I saw this article.

Delegates to the annual World Toilet Summit in Northern Ireland's capital Belfast could be forgiven for feeling flushed this week after sitting down for a three-day debate on the finer points of public sanitation. Some 350 experts met at the Annual World Toilet Summit this past week to discuss such pressing subjects as anti-social behavior in rest-rooms, portable toilets, and facilities for the blind. Raymond Martin, director of the Irish Toilet Association, said that with hundreds of toilet experts gathered in one place lavatorial humor was unavoidable. "But what you actually find is that when the punning and joking is over people actually take toilets very seriously. It's a subject that's close to everyone's heart."

An annual toilet summit. With delegates. And punning and joking. How do you think that goes down? *snicker* Oh, and the image above? Found it surfing for toilet pix (the things I to do entertain you people) and thought it was too funny to pass up.

The World Toilet Summit? Hilarious. I can think of at least one recent Summit (think NY, hint, hint) where this would have been a more appropriate name.

I thought I commented here. There have to be 10,000 good Irish Toilet Association jokes to be made. Here's the first one:
They meet right after the Guinness Worker's Union conference.

J.Mo - It is hilarious, and you might be on to something there. Nice to see you here - hope you'll stick around!

All - J.Mo's one of the contributors over at our long-lost friend JJ's place, The Churning (see blogroll).

Doug - Teehee!! Potty humor and Irish jokes. Funny, funny. Hey, I'm part Irish, so it's all good.

Hahahaha... long lost friend!

The article said, "It's a subject that's close to everyone's heart."

More like "a subject that's close to everyone's ass."

Was that joke too obvious? I really need to try harder next time.

JJ - I knew that'd draw you out of lurking. ;) And obvious is still funny.

my good old irish grandfather would have approved of an irish toilet summit as long as the tall tales told there were good enough to make you pee your pants laughing.

dak-ind - Welcome! I'll bet that's actually the founding inspiration behind the Irish Toilet Summit - how to combat the beer drinking, laughing induced pants peeing. :)
