LOL I don't have that much room.

*Make* room! Move the WC into the linen closet; the sink out into
the hallway; etc.

Gotta have priororities!

And, for the coup de grace, put a COINSLOT next to the toilet!!
(I've toyed with putting one outside the front door in lieu of a
DOORBELL! But, I am afraid it would tempt vandals!)

Now THAT's funny!

I thought it would be amusing to watch to see how people reacted to it.
Put "cues" (e.g., a coinslot) in the "wrong" place and it confuses
people: "Hmmm... coinslot tells me I should insert some coins.
But, why is it *here*??"

For years, I removed the outgoing message from my phone answering machine.
So, callers were just met with a "beep". Amusing to see how many would
*stumble* when confronted with it!

C'mon, it's an answering machine, obviously. You KNOW what to do when you
hear the "beep". Why does the fact that the mindless message that you
WOULDN'T actually listen to is missing??

I have a rotary dial telephone that I've hacked to generate touch tones.

[Note, you will often see a pushbutton phone that can generate "dial pulses"
in lieu of touch tones -- for use on old lines that don't support touch
tones. What I've done is the exact opposite!]

When people go to use it, they first smile and chuckle a bit: "Gee, I
haven't seen a phone like this (dial) in a LONG time!" Then, when they
dial their number and hear tick-a-tick-a-tick-a-tick-a.... BEEP,
they do a double-take: the tick-a-tick-a is something their memories
have come to expect from a rotary phone (the outgoing dial pulses).
But, the "beep" is unexpected -- they haven't pushed any buttons!
