Happy World Toilet Day!


I Sing For Toilets from Gino Federici on Vimeo.

It's amazing what one finds when searching for information on the World Trade Organization. Like this important announcement from another WTO:

Today is World Toilet Day!!!

Apparently 2.6 billion people in the world lack proper toilets. To help us remember, they have come up with "three we's" of toilet advocacy. We we we.

Indeed, this is not the only pun they have developed to promote the cause. There is also the Let's Observe Ourselves (LOO) campaign, which aims to get people to pay more attention to their habits. (Er, let's NOT, shall we?)

But they can also be rather direct. The third "we" is "WE DESERVE BETTER PLACES TO DEFECATE -- PROPER TOILETS". Well, yes, that about sums its up.

Unsurprisingly, the organization is based in Singapore. I'm just glad WTD is not tomorrow, when this important cause would be overshadowed by an even more important event.

I need a better toilet too. Mine is shared with a small neurotic woman who wants me to leave the shower head at 23 cm from the ground (apparently even that's a little too high)...

Neurotic, moi?

Anyway, onto more important things - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU! May every toilet experience on this auspicious day be one of wonder and delight...

True, wouldn't want to dump on your birthday.
