Don’t sit on the plexiglass toilet
Said the mother to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
And don’t sit down on the plexiglass toilet, yeah

For those who have not seen “Crumb”, you owe it to yourself to watch it. If nothing else it will allow you time to feel healthily normal.

J.J. was often criticized for making the same suggestion.

I’d hoped for some discussion about how a university is intended to be a place for adults to confront ideas and bullshit that they may or may not like, and to deal with such in a responsible and civil manner.

Apparently it was a vain hope.

Nope, they built safe spaces. :frowning:

This brings back old memories of being a young lad and having to strategically place my school books in front of my loins when getting off the bus.:grin:
