That is Arafarts Grave marker. Inscription reads, "Employees must wash hands before returning to work."

Considering the mass, world wide travesty of the "Sexual Revolution," one shudders to think of what those who think this is "tackling the problem" will do with plumbing issues.

And be careful not to, quite literally, step into them! Well, at least, be careful with the floor level squat toilets they've got. At one factory I spent some time in there, they did not even have partitions between the individual bowls - stage fright? Get over it man! And most definitely, make sure your keys are very, very secure and cannot possibly fall out of your pocket at the worst possible time ... ;)

"What exactly is "the toilet problem"?

Why, "which stall is cleaner" of course.

I thought research had shown the first stall was usually cleaner, although that still defies common sense. But if they are having the "4th toilet summit", then maybe they have done more research.

It never ceases to amaze me that we buy our 'terlets' from nations that have no indoor plumbing.

No, no, no... You folks are missing the point...

They are having the summit to decide whether or not to buy the fourth toilet - the first three are getting crowded.
