QOTW: Keep On Truckin'



OK, so this is how you do it:

1. Before entering the truck stop restroom, take a deep breath of fresh air.

2. Enter restroom with only one eye open. This way you'll still have at least one good eye if the vapors cause instant ocular damage.

3. Use your foot to open stall door. Don't worry about locking it the door, you're not going to be that long.

4. Do your thing.

(Are you still holding your breath?)

5. If neccessary, distract yourself by reading the chicken-scratch on the walls. But beware, this isn't exactly the New York Times Best Sellers List you're reading here.

6. When you're done, use your foot to flush.

7. Wash your hands before you leave, for pete's sake!

(Now that you're outside the restroom you can exhale!)

8. Upon exiting said-truck stop, burn your shoes for they are now considered unholy!

9. Make a mental note to fly next time!

You forgot: opening the door with the towel you just washed your hands with so you won't get icky germs from people leaving the bathroom without washing their hands! Whew, that was a run-on!

You're right!

You know, I'm starting to think that you're probably better off risking a bladder infection by holding it than going into the cesspool that is the truck stop restroom.

Ok. Just curious. Per comment #7...which hand do you wash?

Hey B-Mom,

Ha!

Um . . . I was using hand as an abbreviation for the word hands.

(Thanks for the heads-up!)

Thanks for stopping by,
