Men quite often "miss the mark"...Toilet Day celebrates women cuz they clean up after them.
I had a job once where I had to clean the restrooms in a department store whenever both janitors were absent. I can't describe how disgusting the womens' rooms were.

Incidently, I once entered the mens' room there to see a woman exit a stall, see me and say as she scurried past me "What are you doing in here?!". I replied "It's the mens' room. The urinals give it away." I later see her at the customer service desk and I could tell she had seen me too because her head was down and a hand was covering her face.

I once found myself in the same "rest room" with a lady. Neither of us checked to see who had made the error.
She giggled and said "we had better not walk out together". My reply was "Well if we do we had better not hold hands".

I have accidently walked into a Men's bathroom a frw times in my short life. Even if no man was "standing there" I was totally embarrassed and mortified before running out. I have been in a long line of ladies waiting to use the restroom, while looking longingly at the men's door that had no line, but there's "no way, Hosea" I'm gonna go in. Why no men in line...I think they all use trees.

It can happen after a “shewee” moment.

These things happen when you laugh too hard.
I've gotten Peg to the edge in public a number of times before giving her a chance to control herself. When walking hand-in-hand I'd slip back, walk squatting and use my other hand to scratch myself. I call it "monkeying".

Just when you think you've had a bad journey this guy had a worse one.

Seen it before. Just as funny now.

We spent 47 hours in airports or airplanes to get home once at 11 pm. We kept a neighbor waiting another hour while we and the baggage manager searched for a missing pack. We gave up and went home. In the morning I got a call with the good news that the pack was found but the news was delivered in a really bad way. After identifying ourselves an agent asked in a very accusatory way "Why didn't you pick up your bag last night?"

A guide to speaking Spanish on the Camino - enrich your pilgrim experience.
Another horror story. The 747s had just started being used. I flew one home for Christmas. There was a small room with two small baggage carousels that could handle the smaller planes. My flight and another 747 flight arriving at the same time used them. The carousels weren't identified by flight. No difference, bags from both flights could appear on either carousel. Passengers breathed down each others necks trying to find their bags on one carousel for 5 minutes before penguin waddling through the crowd to see if any of the bags circling there looked familiar. Sometimes one would be pulled off, checked and then forced back on the pile in the hopes that it would belong to someone else on the other side of the carousel who would recognize it from 10 feet back in the crowd. That bag's owner, of course, would be shoving someone else's bag back on the other carousel.

Give Turga the pink elephant, Chris will take care of the white elephant.
I have many "white elephants" downstairs in my basement. We have often played that game at Christmas gatherings and they bring lots of laughs. One year I got stuck with a frozen beef heart cuz it was wrapped so pretty...yuk!
No can do.
I haven't got two elephants to rub together.
Two elephants "rubbed" together will produce more.🐘🐘...🐘🐘🐘

There has always been one question that I hope another member can answer with regard to ice in containers.

When I have taken the children to MacDonalds (I know..bad parent but they liked to go) and I have bought a Coca Cola, with lid and straw...how do MacDonalds get any Coca Cola into the container with the ammount of ice they put in first?

I guess this is a UK problem. I'm reading Non-Americans Are Sharing Things The US Does Better Than Anyone Else and I saw this
"Ice in drinks. America has a better beverage-to-ice ratio than just about anywhere else in the world."
It could still be better though.

Ours is an ice to beverage I guess rather than the other way round.
Still, lifting the cup is close to a weight lifting regime...so Mickey D's could claim to helping to make us fitter and burning a few calories whilst supping the sugary darkness.

Any fast food restaurant I have gone in for over ten years now has a DIY station. I personally dislike pop without ice. I fill my cup nearly to the top with ice first..."works for me".
P.S. Also, a bit of useless personal trivia; when ordering white wine in summer, I ask for a glass of ice on the side.

And way back when the world was young Coke was sold in 6 ounce glass bottles and then Pepsi doubled the size for the same price, 5 cents.
 
Interesting information, Rick. You often provide helpful posts, whether on the main forum or here.
Hey, did Turga design this logo? It looks vaguely familiar.

I remember the bottles well...and refundable. I used to collect the discarded ones when visiting family. Returned we used to get 3d (old money) in exchange.
4 empties used to get you a free one.

I remember similar, too. It was recycling at its best...unfortunately plastic became the norm. We can recycle it, but for kids there is less incentive now cuz no coins are jingling in their pockets as a reward.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Hey BB, I read all that collection of dark/sick jokes yesterday too. I kept Peg waiting for our daily walk to start while I read every one, some to her. I've had decades to twist her humor to the dark side and so she was laughing crazily too. Sorry for only giving you likes but the laughing was yesterday.

It's good to share though.
 
This clock is not so great for Gen-z who can't read analog clocks.

One place where I worked there was a group that had a clock that was upside-down with a label saying "Sydney time" (like the picture below minus the text). It was very confusing. Actually it was the local time; you just had to pay attention to the position of the hands, not the numbers.
(The time is 2:41)
