Wannaskan Almanac for Tuesday, July 14, 2026 Bathroom Humor

I went out for breakfast the other day up in Minnesota.  The cafe I ate at did not have waffles.  I wanted waffles, but no luck.  So I split a meal of pancakes, eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns with my sister.  I should have known better.  Even half of that order was too much food...and I had been eating rhubarb the day before.  I wasn't quite finished when a pressure in my bowels sent me scuttling toward the bathroom.  And what a bathroom it was!  I have never seen one like it.  

Before we get into the pictures, I do have to say that using bathrooms in unfamiliar locations can be a scary experience.  I have dealt with doors that don't quite shut.  I have seen bathrooms that haven't been cleaned since the Carter administration.  I have witnessed empty toilet paper rolls and paper towel dispensers.  I have even seen a bathrom that was just a hole in the floor over an empty space (ah...Mexico!) so I thought I had seen it all.  

This one, however, was not bad at all.  It was immaculate.  The only problem was that it was maybe a bit too busy...as these pictures will reveal.

As you can see there was just too much to do in that bathroom.  It was really like a small museum.  And then came the dilemna that you can see in the last picture.  Three rolls of toilet paper.  Wow!  How do you deal with that kind of selection?  Try the closest?  Try them all?  I was definitely in over my head.  It was at that time that my sister began texting me and asking if I was okay.  

"I am not sure," was what I replied.

Just use some of each and get out of there already," she shot back.  Obviously she had already experienced this overstimulation of paper products and knew what I was pondering.  

I definitely will go back there sometime.  Especially if they start making waffles!
