Good afternoon. Earlier this morning, Editor Anna asked me my stance on “potty humor.” I am somewhat pro. Thus, it is my privilege to discuss with you today’s most important global issue: Toilet paper.
In Japan, “toilet poems” are part of a new effort to make squatters consider their toilet paper usage. The Japanese Toilet Labu (I took Japanese in college, so I know this roughly translates to: Japanese Toilet Lab) research center is putting poems like, “that paper will meet you only for a moment” and “love the toilet” at eye-level in public bathroom stalls. It’s genius, really. Perhaps if we all thought of toilet paper in a more poetic manner — considered each and every square like, say, a goodbye kiss experienced in the last, lingering days of an extraordinarily beautiful autumn — the world would be a better place?
