You might think that the writer of nearly a dozen couplets on toilet etiquette would include at least one variation on the sprinkle/tinkle theme, but apparently the poet at work in this Nassau County government building doesn’t go for in that sort of cliché.
But wouldn’t you know it? As Nicole from New York City reports, “The toilet seat in question was covered in ‘sprinkle‘ and absolutely disgusting.”

don’t touch your food and face, but the copying machine is fair game!

It’s a shame that somebody old enough to vote wrote a note that says “We don’t need to see your deposit swim ‘in”. I guess the apostrophe is for the missing “m”, but there should be another after the “n”.

Well, the rhyming of women and swimmin’ is a form of assonance. Seems apt.

Nassau County is in the (out)house! There is definitely a focus on potty behaviors as represented by the myriad postings in the women’s rooms. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to seek out this Holy Grail and lay at it’s base a copy of “Everyone Poops” and “Everyone Pees”.

How fitting that right after the toilet instructions, this page presented to me an advertisement for Denny’s. If there’s anything that rarely flushes down the first time, it’s a Grand Slam or a Moons Over My Hammy.

Ode to a Floater
It’s so hard to say goodbye
But everytime I try
You come right back swimmin’
For you there are no other women
You’ve shown your true feelin’
And you’ve got my senses reelin’
But it just can’t get sadder
That you’re only fecal matter.

I have a real urge to learn this verbatim and recite it stone faced at a poetry reading night at some snotty bar down town.

@JohnnyB It’s a standard literary device to use an apostrophe to denote the changes in spelling and syllables.

If it’s yellow, let it mellow.
If it’s brown, flush it down.

If you don’t wash your hands after going to the bathroom, and you work in my office, please be kind enough to never let me know this. I might spray you with Lysol the next time you come near me.

“people old enough to vote”
I guess that would explain the teabaggers.

I never understood why girls wouldn’t flush… then I caught one of my friends in high school doing it and accosted her. Turns out, whenever she poops she’s afraid it’ll over flow the toilet, so she leaves the “danger” for someone else…

It never ceases to amuse
of those who won’t flush their refuse
Because what of their home commode?
I can’t imagine how foul the eau de’
Or is it just a “treat” for others?
I’ll pass if I can have my druthers.
My message then is plain, alas –
Flush the toilet, you big dumbass.
