For reasons described elsewhere in Mr. Ass, I try to avoid using the toilet at the plant in Mexico. However, on my last day there, nature called and I had no choice. Lucky for me the cleaning girls had just been through and the bathroom was in decent shape. Better yet, there was a big meeting going on and the stalls were empty. I had the place to myself, and sat down for a leisurely game of Sudoku.
Some time later, my game successfully completed, I moved on to Phase II of the project. I reached over and gave the toilet paper roll a good tug, whereupon it slid off the holder, bounced on the floor, and rolled into the next stall. Luckily I could just grab the tail end of it by reaching under the wall, but when I pulled on it I was left with but two tattered squares. Shit.
Leaning over I could see the roll lying there, out of reach, and tried to nudge it my way with the tip of my shoe but it only slid further away. Short of going to my knees and reaching under, or getting up and pulling my pants up, I was stuck there. Subscribing myself to fate, I sat down for another game of Sudoku, and tried to think of how to say “give me the toilet paper” in Spanish.
He he he, just yell PAPEL!!!
