Types in a Men's Room ~ Anonymous

 


Types in a Men's Room ~ by Anonymous

()()()()()()()

Sociable Man :    joins friends in a piss whether he has to or not, figures it don't cost anything!

Excitable Man :    shorts have twisted around, can't find opening, rips hole in shorts.

Cross-eyed Man :    looks into urinal in center, pisses on man's shoes on left, flushes urinal on 
  right!

Timid Man :    can't piss if anyone is watching, flushes urinal pretending he has pissed, comes back later when no one is around !

Indifferent Man:    all urinals in use, pisses in sink!

Clever Man:    no hands, shows off by adjusting tie, looks around for admiring glances.

Frivolous Man:    pisses up and down and across urinal; attempts to hit flies; this type has never grown up. 

Absentminded Man:    unbuttons his vest, takes out his tie, and pisses his pants!

Sneaky Man:    farts silently while pissing, acts innocent, knows man at next urinal will get blame.

Bold Man:    farts long and loud while pissing and then laughs the same way!

Childish Man:    pisses directly into water at bottom of urinal, likes to hear bubbling sound.

Tough Man:    bangs tool against sides of urinal to knock off last drop.  Bangs it too hard, leaves in pain.

Bashful Man:    pisses down leg so no one  can hear it run urinal.

Inquisitive Man:    not interested in his own job, but insists on looking over at next man's tool.

Cock-proud Man:    stands well back so that all can view his outsize tool.  Finishes up with a   prolonged shake and replaces tool with a flourish.

Nervy Man:  
  grunts and breathes heavily, finally ending up with a resounding fart and thereby spoiling your piss.

Violent Man:  
  shakes tool after piss with such gusto that hat falls over his eyes and drops of piss fly in all directions.

Retiring Man:    pisses in urinal in most secluded corner and occasionally glances over shoulder to see who's looking.

Dejected Man:    hangs head and enjoys a good long piss.  Probably a hen-pecked husband enjoying the only thing that his wife can't interfere with.

"Breakthrough" Phases of the Virus ~ by Hénock Gugsa

 


"Breakthrough" Phases of the Virus 

~ by Hénock Gugsa ~

   Isn't it strange that the term "breakthrough" used to have a positive connotation in general conversation ? Now in the age of the pandemic, I am not finding any comfort whenever any mention is made of "breakthroughs", or "variants" !!! ☹️

     I am not critiquing the work that is taking place in the war against the deadly virus and its aftermath. Heroic and super-human efforts are occurring daily around the globe! I am grateful for that !!

     But it seems to me that the media is treating the Corona Virus as a relatable protagonist in our life drama. Every time the virus moves to a new and more virulent stage, the media are calling it a breakthrough instance. Thus the Delta variants are being referred to as breakthrough. It is as if we should be celebrating or something ! Maybe that is the whole (root) problem of communication out there. We should be giving the virus the serious attention and respect it deserves without the puzzling, discouraging, and unhelpful descriptive of "breakthrough" !
