Re: On toilets





Actually, there is a very funny expression in Turkish that can "postmodernize"
the debate on "toilets". I don't know if it is a new slang or not, but when
people physically dislike each other at first sight, they say "I don't even go
to a toilet with this person, let alone to bed". So, unfair it may sound, I
wouldn't even go to a toilet with post-modernism stuff.


revolutionary cheers,
