It's World Toilet Day! Time for quirky signs (thanks, readers) ... and serious talk
Let's take time off from pondering the pandemic to enjoy some toilet humor courtesy of signage sent in by our audience — and also to think about how lucky we are if we have a safe toilet.
Looking at the past stories we've published about World Toilet Day makes me flush with happiness. I mean, just the headlines ...
"Take the plunge into World Toilet Day." (That was in 2014).
and ...
"Oh, the places you'll go: Toilet signs try to help." (From 2018, because we can't get enough of toilet humor.)
But in all seriousness, World Toiletevent. In 2013, the United Nations officially dubbed Nov. 19 the day to "celebrate toilets and raise awareness of the 3.6 billion people living without access to safely managed sanitation" – in other words, a place to do number 1 and number 2 with dignity, without risk to your safety and without endangering others with diseases that stem from fecal matter.
