Ladies and Gents

A bit of family-friendly toilet humour for Sadje’s What Do You See? photo prompt!

Let me read it to you!

000I was desperate for public toilet. I stood, hopping from foot to foot looking up and down and round and round for a sign but I couldn’t see one.

A priest walked towards me. I asked him if he could help.

“Walk past St. Mary’s Church and there’s one at the crossroads”, he said.

Now that was no help, so I asked a passing pensioner, they must need them quite often.

“Turn right at the doctor’s surgery, left at the Old Folk’s Home and there’s one opposite the hospice” she squeaked.

No joy. I saw a bloke in a kilt sitting on a bench swigging from a can of beer, he was bound to know where I could find one.

“Ya see that booze store? Go roond the corner an’ you can use the loo’s in the Duck and Goose public hoose”.

That was no help. I was about to burst when I saw it. The sign I’d been looking for! Toilet!

I just made it in time. There was a notice on the door that said ‘Wet Floor’. I assumed that to be a warning rather than an instruction, although I came very close to doing the latter!

I needed to find my way back to the town centre. There should have been a sign somewhere…

    “No Comment” is actually a comment.

    Were three old ladies stuck in the toilet by any chance??? We, as kids – I hasten to add – used to ride our bikes round the garden singing this … drove our parents potty – I sadly was the eldest and thus the ring-leader! Love the sign though … always there – but of no use. Cheers Hilary

      Yes, and they were there from Monday ’til Saturday apparently! I too remember singing that! Thanks, Hilary.

    A great take on the given prompt. Yes, I’ve been searching for that same sign a few times in my days.

      Thanks, Christine. The worst thing is when you follow the sign only to find the loo is closed!

    A marvelous take on the prompt, Keith. Yep, that’s the one “sign” we need at the right time!

    Hilarious! Your line about the wet floor had me laughing out loud. Funny one, Keith!

      Thanks, Nancy, I’m not entirely sure where that line appeared from!

    We’ve all done that dance. This is why I say time is relative, how long a minute lasts depends on which side of the loo door you are on, or how far away one is.

    That awful feeling when you need to pee and no loo in sight. You want to run but can’t 😅

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 8, 2023 / 16:32

      I can’t believe I’m sitting here discussing having a pee with you lot! Must dash, nature calls!
