They searched the length of the lands. Silently, they kept watch. The newborn cocked his iridescant head and listened to the wretched cries of humanity. The Fledgling craned his downy neck as he unfolded and flexed the mighty wings of change. - Mary Summer Rain ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 8 Nov 1996 01:29:11 -0800 (PST) From: The Jokester <peetah@mcs.net> To: Blind Copy Receiver:;@mcs.net Subject: Men's bathroom quiz someone has got to be really bored to write this... unfortunately, it also seems to be true. Men's Bathroom Quiz ------------------------ In case you're not being sufficiently challenged today, the following quiz should do the trick. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is the urinal configuration in a sample men's room. An X above the number will indicate "in use." (Sample) | | | x | | | x | indicates men are at stalls 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | and 6. ------------------------- You are to identify correctly, based on urinal etiquette, at which stall you are to correctly stand. Good luck! -------------------- Easy Section -------------------- 1.) | | x | | x | | | (Stalls 2 and 4 occupied.) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | ------------------------- Your choice: __ Answer:Stall 6 It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy instinctively knows this. 2.) | x | | | | | | (1 occupied.) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | ------------------------- Your choice: __ Answer: Stall 6 Stall 5 is acceptable, but you run a greater risk of being next to someone who arrives later. Kind of tricky Section: 3.) | | | | | | | (empty) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | -------------------------- Your choice: __ Answer(kind of tricky): stalls 1 or 6 You are tacitly saying, "I don't want anyone next to me." 4.) | | x | | x | | x | (2, 4 and 6 occupied) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | ------------------------- Your choice: ___ Answer(kind of tricky): stall 1 - You're stuck being next to at least ONE guy, so you minimize the impact and get a wall on your left. NEVER go between TWO guys if you can help it. Exceptions to this are stadium restrooms where the herd thunders in. - < Subtle, tricky, but important to know Section - | | x | | | x | x | (2, 5 and 6 occupied) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | ------------------------- Your choice: __ Answer(HARD!): stall 4 Believe it or not, 1 and 3 "couples" you with the guy in stall 2. And we wouldn't want THAT now, would we? This differs from question 4 in such a subtle way that the nuances cannot be explained. Suffice to say, only we men would understand! - << VERY tricky indeed Section - 6.) | x | x | | | x | x | (1, 2, 5 and 6 occupied) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | ------------------------- Your choice: ___ Answer(DAMN HARD!): NONE! You go to the mirror and pretend to comb your hair or straighten a tie until the urinals "open up" a bit more. If you have to go REAL, REAL BAD...for god's sake, man!...use a doored stall. Other parts of the Unwritten Code of the Urinals: -- NO Talking, unless it's a good friend... but even then, keep it terse and unemotional. This ain't no clubhouse. -- I don't think I need to tell you, absolutely NO touching of anyone other than yourself. A touch of another's elbow is of the highest offense. -- NO Singing. Period. -- Glances are for purposes of acknowledging only..."Yeah, I see you there. I will not look again". this message brought to you by Paula Peter-Dennis <phoenixr@ra.isisnet.com>.
