No More Toilets, Please!

Last month, Therry asked me to take some pictures of what I call The Evil Toilets. After trying a couple of times, I've realized several challenges that I forgot to consider.


  1. A guy who carries a camera and walks into a place where almost every other guy is unzipping their pants, is definitely looking for trouble.

  2. One of The Evil Toilets is located inside the locker/shower room of a local gym. Inside are semi to naked guys with biceps bigger than my head. I might as well jump in front of a speeding truck.

  3. Even when you've made sure that nobody else is inside, there's a reason why these places are called The Evil Toilets. Let's just say that you can't take pictures while protecting your nose at the same time.


I have no idea how this guy could do it.

So, let's drop the idea. Please. For the sake of mankind.

As a secondary choice, I took the camera for product typo hunting. And I struck gold in the children toys section. Consider this exhibit A.


Yes, show your nerves of steal!--swipe your dad's wallet.


I guess you've pretty much determined your kid's future career by giving him/her this toy.

"Buy now and get a free "Get Out of Jail" card!

On the other hand, "No More Toilets, Please" sounds like a good sitcom title (featuring Tim Allen).

I'm collecting the pictures all right. Where did I find them? Bandung, of course. Where we can find the smorgasboard of cheap products of unknown origins. Because even though it said "made in China", it might not be.

Once, I found a label that says, "Dame in China". I regret to this day that I didn't take its snapshot.

Yes. Some are claimed to be made in China, some other in Japan. Gotta love their engrish.

Reading your blog really is a bliss amidst all the riots, protests and God knows what else is going on in this country recently...

Sometimes we gotta laugh at the small things. Correct: Most of the times.
