Print out a favorite piece of poetry or literature that will fit on a single sheet of paper. Bring it with you next time you must visit the toilet. Tape it to the inside of the stall door. Feel good that you have spread a little bit of culture to a captive audience.

baked...i do this sometimes in public bathrooms, but in a more permanent format :P |
|
|
Baked, albeit in formats that are more difficult to remove. |
|
|
The poetry should be ON the TP. Each square with a short inspirational poem. Inspirational and practical! Plus, if you found something particularly good on a piece of paper, you could leave it taped to the stall door for others to appreciate. |
|
|
Ah, but I mean "real" poetry or literature; not doggerel. The idea is for more high-brow competition with what you normally encounter in a toilet. |
|
|
i *try* to be somewhat high-minded with my additions to bathroom decoration... |
|
|
Baked, but a really good idea, anyway. |
|
|
It really did say "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?" in graffiti on the wall of the bathroom of the Figaro in the late 50's. Anybody know if the inscription is still there? Now that they sell cheap wine and hamburgers instead of Russian Tea and Orzata, I've resisted revisiting. |
|
|
Epic poetry going from stall door to stall door would be interesting. |
|
|
This idea is excellent for public toilets. It makes the experience a little bit more than just wasting your time inside a really compact and smelly room more than once a day. Very interesting! |
|
|
//just wasting your time inside a really compact and smelly room more than once a day// [pericles] this sounds frighteningly like what happens in my room. anyway, i can also see this idea being used by students: they post essays and other various assignments in the restrooms, and it can be edited by the bored souls on the terlet. (hopefully it won't be crap...sorry, please don't kill me, i couldn't help myself) |

//The poetry should be ON the TP. //
That's what I thought they used poetry for. |
|
|
You get some of the best ideas on the crapper. Which was named after a Thomas J. Crapper, by the way. |

Except for blissmiss' part, this ain't so hot. My family and I work in a cleaning business, and we end up cleaning graffiti off the stalls' walls (we have professional-grade stuff to clean it with, which makes it easier, but you can imagine what it's made of). |
|
|
A tradition in the bathroom at my old dorm. We had the entirety of the "Fellowship of the Ring" Very Secret Diaries up there for a while. |
|
|
Good idea, if i would run out of TP i could use the poems instead. But then one has to make a difficult choice > which poem to whipe the bumhole with? (can you hear Beavis and Butthead screaming?) |
|

QUOTE: "Season of mist and... mellow fruitlessness."
"Damn I love Keats! Have you heard this one? There was a young woman from Ealing who had a peculiar feeling. She lay on her back and opened her crack and pissed all over the ceiling!" END QUOTE Perhaps an appropriate poem? |
|
|
Has no one noticed the little bit of
poetry which has been on my profile
page for the last three years? |
|
|
I like [igirl]'s suggestion from just over a year ago. |
|
|
didn't Jack Kerouac write 'On The Road' on a big roll of paper. I don't think it was TP, but still. |
|
|
We have a variation on this in our house with newspaper cuttings . Pride of place goes to a composite caption reading: "Prime Minister To Have Large Unworkable Poo Today". |
|
|
as opposed to a workable poo? |
