[QUOTE="ezrider, post: 52790"] Tooner Since you mentioned it, I've been delivering to a municipal building lately and one of the custodians told me that cleaning the toilets was easy. I asked him how that could be. He replied that nobody would use the bathrooms on his floor due to rumors of how dirty they would get by the afternoon hours. When I asked if the rumors bothered him, he laughed and said "Heck no! In fact, I'm glad I started them!"
