I had to play a joke on the maid at a hotel where I was staying. You
know that little paper wrapper they place over the toilet seat, that
thin paper band that is supposed to convince you that the facility is

go to use the john. Instead, I saved mine and each morning before
leaving the room slipped it back on the toilet seat, giving the
impression I never used it.

For example, if you hate your dead-end job, and you share a communal
bathroom down the hall with the employees of other companies in the
building, chances are you'll spend more time here than you should,
