Potty Mouth
The other day I was mildly horrified when my boss announced that he had to go "launch a sea pickle." I had to wonder what is it that makes us need to announce that we are going to the restroom and why do we feel the need to share just what we will be doing in there. That train of thought led to me thinking of all the euphemisms I know for "doin the deed". I still don't know why I know all of these, but does it really make more sense to say one of these than to say "I must now go defecate?
Facilitaing a Meeting
Seeing a man about a horse
Dropping the kids off at the pool
Saying Hi to James (this came about because there is a poster of James Joyce above the entrance to the restrooms where I work)
Making number 2 (props to Mrs. Archangel and her second grade class for that one)
And my personal favorite: Taking the Browns to the Superbowl
But just remember that no matter what you call it just give them my name and you'll always get a good seat.

God I hate that. Can't people just excuse themselves and let that speak for itself?
I'm also mortified when I enter the ladies room with a female friend who insists on talking whilst, well, you know. Doing your business. Yuck. I'm always a little freaked out to find that a friend of mine, who I had thought was perfectly normal, is actually a bathroom talker.
Oh, and the people who take the phone into the bathroom. You can be having a perfectly normal conversation with someone, and then, FLUSH! Which kind of speaks for itself, you know?
Dammit, now I'm all grossed out AND fired up. I may have to blog this one on my own...
I refuse to take care of that kind of business in a public restroom.
I save all of my embarassment for the bathroom at home.
In the movie "Shawshank Redemption" one of the guards says he has to go "pinch off a loaf." That always makes me crack up.
