My Scarf Is In The John…

I was at my mother-in-law’s place today picking up my son when I realized I needed to use the bathroom (just a plain bathroom; no seat lifts or anything) before we left. So I headed that way. I still had my scarf on. I’m not sure if that was because I was a little chilly or I was attempting to impersonate Tom Baker circa 1979.

Anyway, it didn’t occur to me to take the thing off before ‘pulling up a chair’ if you get my meaning. Anyway, as I got up, I almost dipped the thing in the toilet. Fortunately, I did not.

But it did make me realize that wearing your scarf to the bathroom has pros and cons. On one hand, you run a serious risk of dunking your scarf in the toilet. On the pro-side, if the bathroom is out of toilet paper or a hand towel, you are all set.

Don’t forget the Clorox when you get home.

    This whole scenario reminds me of the scene in ‘Along came Polly’ when he did run out of paper and used her grandmother’s embroidered towel to wipe with, which clogged the toilet which overflowed and so on…what a mess indeed!

    I didn’t see that movie. But it sounds like typical Ben Stiller hilarity. That guy can do slapstick incredibly well. (See dog resuscitation scene from ‘There’s Something About Mary’.)
