How do you know you're in a European rest room? (from "Two and a Half Men")


You know you're in one when - You're a peein'.

Try an Asian restroom, you will think you are on another galaxy.

Yes. Simplicity. I think it's funny that they indicate where to put your feet.

I never mastered the art of using those Asian squat toilets that are flush with the floor. The good part was that there were no Taco Bell restaurants to create further complications. #carpet-bombing

Back in 1981 I spent two weeks in Berlin, Germany at our parent company's main plant and headquarters in their lab testing various fiber reinforced cement mixtures. One day while walking through the plant I went into a bathroom to go number 2. When I walked into a stall there was no toilet, just a hole in the floor.

I held it until I got back to the laboratory wing where there were proper toilets.

My knees won’t let me squat anymore so I’ve decided I won’t vacation in Asia, ever.

Or a phone booth in NYC, or a doorway, have seen both back there, piss running down to the curb. Just local color they would call it, local charm.

Who needs walls and stools when you have holes in the floor?

Those feet keep you elevated above the large (and small) puddles on the floor.
