This appears to very much the case on this board, so I've given you this link. http://www.virtualnorwood.com/news/029.shtml About half-way down the page is a biographical note about George Jennings, who constructed the first Public Toilet (bathroom to you US'ns) in the UK. This poem, in particular, caught my eye and my fancy I'front the Royal Exchange and Underground, Down Gleaming walls of porc'lain flows the sluice That out of sight decants the Kidney Juice, Thus pleasuring those Gents for miles around, Who, crying for relief, once piped the sound, Of wind in alley-ways. All hail this news! And let the joyous shuffling queues For Gentlemanly Jennings' most well found Construction, wherein a penny ope's the gate To Heav'n's mercy and Sanitary waves Received the Gush with seemingly, cool obedience, Enthroning Queen Hygeia in blessed state On Crapper's Rocket: with rapturous ease men's cares Shall flow away when seated at convenience!

I find restroom to be a bit of an oxymoron, actually. Especially if you have just eaten chillies or are extremely constipated. Not exactly a restful way to pass your time.... geddit?

Excuse me while I take a seat and wipe away the tears before going back to reading my Reader's Digest. That was toilet humour, folks!
