Ba dum bum

CBC washroom graffitiYep, another potty post - note my use of the appropriate icon.

The men's washroom nearest my desk at the CBC HQ in Toronto is usually free of graffiti.

When there is some, it's usually marginally witty or timely.

Which is why I was so surprised to see this bit of poorly written, unintelligent scrawl in the stall:

"Do you like having ONE NIGHT STAND...?"

What the hell is that supposed to mean, and if it's not rhetorical, how am I supposed to respond?

Well, I'll tell you how I'd respond, if I were the graffiti writing type. In fact, I gave a lot of consideration to actually writing underneath it, but decided to do it here, virtually, instead (god, I'm such a goody goody.)

CBC washroom graffiti

"YES. WITH TWO NIGHTSTANDS, I KEEP FORGETTING WHERE I PUT MY BOOK."

OK, not that funny. But at least you don't have to scrub it off - you can just click that little "close window" X... which I see you are doing now....

  1. My lawyer has advised me not to post any bathroom-related stories from my time at th CEEB. Unfortuately, I can not comment on this blog post at this time.
