Chinglish of the Week #4 - Potty Humor

I am 27 years old.  I know that.  However, many of the things I see in the bathrooms in Beijing just flat out make me laugh like I did when I was 8 years old.


This one is posted outside the stall in the Chinese Walmart:


Mmm, that piece of of advice DOES make me feel all warm inside.  And this next one from the Summer Palace actually isn't that bad, not to mention it's very practical:


However, this one from the Beijing Zoo was created by a much lazier (or simply more succinct) person:


The next couple pics are from a location far more well-known than the Summer Palace and the Beijing Zoo:  our bathroom.




I bought this awesome toilet paper holder at the nearby grocery store so Heather and I didn't have to remove our TP roll from the bathroom every time we showered (because our whole bathroom is technically our shower....I plan to explain more in later post).  It's always a great reminder every time nature calls (or as one of my university students tried explaining to me in the middle of class one time, "Nature is calling me.").  And who doesn't appreciate a nice life-lesson from their toilet paper holder every once in a while?

The last one is from the house of a friend of ours.  She bought it online:


Adding the sense of accomplishment after each trip to the John?.....not needed, but certainly appreciated.  Thank you, toilet seat.
