Women and Public Restrooms"},"content":{"rendered":"<h1>Too Funny- This is hilarious&#8230;Enjoy!! \u00a0 Totally true!<\/h1>\n<p>When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it&#8217;s your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"float: left\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn7.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/UNS\/UNS045\/u21554205.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"170\" \/>Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.<\/p>\n<p>You get in to find the door won&#8217;t latch. It doesn&#8217;t matter,the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern &#8216;seat covers&#8217; (invented by someone&#8217;s Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn&#8217;t &#8211; so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the\u00a0FLOOR!\u00a0), yank down your pants, and assume &#8216;The Stance.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake.\u00a0 You&#8217;d love to sit down, but you certainly hadn&#8217;t taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold &#8216;The Stance.&#8217;\u00a0To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother&#8217;s voice saying, &#8216;Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have\u00a0KNOWN\u00a0there was no toilet paper!&#8217; Your thighs shake more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"float: right\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn3.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/FSD\/FSD032\/x19030794.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"124\" height=\"170\" \/>You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday \u2013 the one that&#8217;s still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time). That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It&#8217;s still smaller than your thumbnail<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"float: left\" src=\"https:\/\/th778.photobucket.com\/albums\/yy65\/amyjayne10\/Women\/th_00hS053_0xy.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/>Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn&#8217;t work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. &#8216;Occupied!&#8217; you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the\u00a0TOILET SEAT\u00a0.. It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it&#8217;s too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper &#8211; not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you&#8217;re certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, &#8216;You just don&#8217;t\u00a0KNOW\u00a0what kind of diseases you could get.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"float: left\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn7.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/ULY\/ULY007\/u13451655.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"139\" \/>At this point, you give up. You&#8217;re soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You&#8217;re exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"float: right\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn3.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/IGS\/IGS646\/IS179-016.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"113\" \/>You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when youNEEDED\u00a0it??) You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman&#8217;s hand and tell her warmly, &#8216;Here, you just might need this.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn6.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/corbis\/DGT087\/42-16753736.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"170\" \/>As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men&#8217;s restroom. Annoyed, he asks, &#8216;What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with public restrooms (rest??? You&#8217;ve GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It&#8217;s so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door!<\/p>\n<p>This HAD to be written by a woman! No one else could describe it so accurately!<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ff00ff\">Send this to all women that need a good laugh AND, don&#8217;t forget to have a mammogram!!!!!!

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
