I'm Going to the BATHROOM!

Why oH why do people insist on saying they are goint to the BATHROOM when there is none to be found in that location. Have you ever seen a bathroom at Mickey D’s, a bank, restaurant, or most any other public place? No, but there are rest rooms, comfort stations, accomodations and numerous other ephemisms for TOILETS. These genteel folks would almost rather say s…t house that say toilet.

Whey they ask where the bathroom is ask “Why? Do you want to take a bath.”

Will somebody please explain to spingears the difference between a General Question and a Rant?

I once saw a very confused local guide at the Parthenon in Athens wodering why an American tourist suddenly wanted to take a bath after asking where the nearest bathroom was.

God, this couldn’t even pass the bouncer at the Pit. “Why do we say BATHROOM? Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways? Nyuck Nyuck!”

spingears, General Questions is for questions with factual answers. If you want to rant, do so in the Pit.
