And you thought college students were foul…

“I live in a condominium building that is popular with the elderly,” writes our submitter from the Chicagoland area. Recently, he says, the building’s board of managers put copies of this note in everyone’s mailboxes and posted it in the lobby (so guests wouldn’t be spared the details, either.)

Adds our submitter: “I don’t know what’s more inappropriate: losing control of your bowels in the hallway or distributing this memo to all the residents.”

Someone has a serious bowel problem

Meanwhile in depressing economic news, Sara in Kansas City, Missouri says her company’s last Christmas party was held in — wait for it — the rec center of a local retirement home. Revelers who stopped by the restroom were greeted with this cheerful reminder of OMG SHOOT ME NOW.

After you rinse your dentures PLEASE rinse out sink

    This is just like CSI! Just follow the diarrhea trail to nab the suspect. Of course, my best guess is that it will lead to a toilet somewhere… but you never know.

      Why couldn’t they have done some DNA testing of said material? If management isn’t smart enough to follow the trail to the defecator’s door then maybe they should seek new management.

      I think it must have been something along the lines of baby-bits or tufts of puppy fur caught in their dentures to inspire such a sign. (Gross? Yes. But when you consider what nursing home food is like, can you blame them for luring toddlers and pups in for a bite?)

      Clearly, according to the description of the deposit beginning in the stairway and continuing upstairs, the problem may be with oldsters coming back home from a lunch or dinner out.

      A small investment may help: a rack of plastic bags placed unobtrusively in the lobby, augmented by a collection of un-slotted spatulas, would make it possible for the unfortunate control-loser to “take **it with them”.

      They’ll still need an on-call carpet cleaner, but the spatula ‘n’ bag combo should improve the life quality of the BM’s (Board of Managers).

      Poor Mr. Smith who suffers from Alzheimers, decided to attend the building’s Bingo/chili night in the rec room.

      He couldn’t figure out why he never had a single number blacked out on his card. And hey, who were all those tacky people hanging around in the first place?

      Slowly he made his way up to his second floor apartment in squishy pants, only to discover his dentures were missing when he got home.

      They weren’t called that in the 1960′s, Adam.

      I Know! Shocking news, but sometimes companies change the names of their products.
      Did you know that the Nestles 100 Grand Bar used to be called a $100,000.00 Bar? Or that for a time Hostess changed the name of Ding-Dongs to Ring Dongs (I guess someone didn’t like their daughters getting used to eating ding dongs)? Super Honey Crisp cereal was once Super Sugar Crisp, that is until someone said sugar was bad for us.

      I think they call it “Marketing”, Adam.
      That’s when they sell you the same old shit under a different name, or in a different package, or find a new use for an old product (see baking soda…no, we didn’t always buy an extra box to put in the fridge for a few months and then pour it down the drain for a fresh scent…suckers).
      Raise your hand if you drive a huge vehicle capable of off-road driving (and paid extra for that mother too) because you feel safer in it…even though you have never gone off-roading.
      Now, if you’ve ever been sitting in your coupe or sedan and thought, “Gee I’d like to drive up a mountain , through some mud and haul a load of lumber this weekend, but I can’t because of this car”, put your hand down…you’re excused. The rest are suckers.
      Mind your wants, because someone (on Madison Avenue) wants your mind.

      As you get older, you may not pay as much attention to peanut butter classifications…
      “Natural” is stupid, BTW, because peanut butter is not a natural state of the peanut…but they are crunchy sumbitches…for the record. ;-)
