Over the last year and a half, Cranky has had four different jobs. It's not that Cranky can't hold down a position, it's just that. . .well, it's complicated.
Anyway, the four jobs mean that Cranky was in four different workplaces. Being the observant guy he is, Cranky discerned that things were not always the same. One thing that was different among the four workplaces was lavatories.
Lavatories can be measured in various ways. For example, for a given system of commodes over a given period of time, what is the flush percentage? If a system has five commodes and they are all five operable for the whole period of time, the system has a flush percentage of 100 percent. If one commode is out for the whole period, the system has a flush percentage of 80 percent. If three commodes are each out for one-half the period, the system has a flush percentage of 70 percent (Cranky thinks this calculation is correct, but you’d better check the math.)
The last place Cranky worked had one commode for about forty users. One might expect that this many users would result in a significantly low flush percentage (and in forty uncomfortable individuals.)
But such was not the case. This commode took all that was dropped and kept right on flushing.
No, the place with the worst flush percent was an office building of, drum roll please, the United States Senate. In spite of surrounding walls, ceilings, and floors of first rate material—stone, fine tile—and top-of-the-line models, Senate commodes seemed to spend a lot of time just fermenting noxious nastiness.
A wiseacre might be tempted to say that with such a concentration of BS, no wonder the Senate commodes were constantly clogging up. But Cranky is not a wiseacre.

Has anyone ever tried to flush a toilet in Cranky's house??? His toilets make the Senate look REAL good........
ReplyDeleteOne must wonder the amount of 'droppage' coming from Cranky's visitors to notice.
ReplyDeletePerhaps both Cranky and the Senate are testing the new 'Green' commodes. You gotta wonder with the cost of toilet paper if the old bucket and leaf trick is next for Cranky's domicile....
What do you mean "next" for Cranky's domicile. Haven't you seen the bucket brigade at work there? The less toilet paper that is used means more for Cranky's retirement fund. Free the toilet paper users---go green!
ReplyDeleteIt is becoming very obvious that everyone is more interested in Cranky's comments on toilets and nannnies rather than the more serious issues in this world. GO CRANKY!
ReplyDeleteOne must understand that the diversion that Cranky creates is totally invaluable compared to the outside world of 4 dollar gas, a presidential election, and any other of the world's issues. I could go on and on about nannies, and cannot wait for a post about 'Cougars.'
ReplyDeleteSo, Cranky, what's up next? Nannies, toilets, hairpins....must be something good to keep us amused.
