Ok, there will be those who think I have an obsession with toilets and related activities. You know who you are. Please let me assure you this is not true – it’s just that I’ve always found a humorous twist in the symbolism associated with toilets.
For example, I totally cracked up this summer when the Olympics were on. When one of the stadium’s was unveiled to the public, and described as the ‘Bird’s Nest’, well tell me I’m wrong, but the aerial view quite clearly reminded me of a giant toilet.
A beautiful silver one. And since I’m in the market for a new soft seat, well you get the idea.
Or the day my toilet overflowed one morning when I was racing out of the house at 6 A.M. to catch a flight for a day trip that I did not want to take, but had to. Ironically, I got locked in an airport bathroom stall on my return…let’s just say it was poetic justice.
But I digress. My thoughts on the toilet (not literally, thank you) relate to the state of the economy.
If only a good flush or two would solve the problems – ok, this is a huge mess, so it might even take a few more.
Alas, it’s not that simple. But we can try to keep laughing along the way, yes?
