I'm back...

I'm back from a delightful vacation in Havana. I will show a few pictures of my vacation, starting with this one. This is the toilet in the lobby of one of the places I stayed. Fun, eh? I did use one of these toilets, but didn't do the in tandem thing.
I'm currently going through a bit of re-entry shock here, but I think I'll be ok. I had hoped that winter would be over when I got back, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Wow! Those two-seaters are too much, Aggie. That's F***ing communism for you. It reminds me of why I loved those Swiss bastards for one thing. Their money grubbing capitalism aside, they knew how to design a public toilet. Nowhere will you find one of those classic North American "let's look at the next guys choice of shoe and sock combo while taking a dump" architectural wonders. Those Swiss, in their neo-nazi anal-retentive splendor, always provided four walls to the floor WC's that allowed one to enjoy such personal moments without distraction. Now I know what the Bay-of-Pigs was all about.

That's HILARIOUS Aggie!

Oh, and welcome back - I missed you.

AGGIE!!! I missed you... so glad you're back...

Wow... what happens when you let go of a stinky little putt putt? Do you pretend nothing happened, do you apologize, do you just look over and smile? What is the etiquette in such a set-up? Did you ask? I need to know!

Chair: Yes, this pretty much sums up where the revolution went awry.
Zoom: Thanks. Your welcoming me back helps ease the pain of being back.
Woodsy: Thank you. I'm not up on my tandem crapping etiquette. I should have asked, but my weak language skills prevented me from getting into these kinds of complexities. I was lucky to even find the room in the first place.

Oh, this brings back fuzzy memories of a two-person porta potty I used once at a women's music festival. My friend and I dared each other to use it... TOGETHER. We drank a lot of wine and marched over to the dreaded tandem toilet. It was an experience, I'll tell you that much. Especially when we realized that because it was already dark out, it would be dark inside the porta potty too.


Eeeeew.
