Tissue or Water?

He comes out with a definite frown on his face, would there be any attacker or friend in the convenience (or which do you prefer, toilet?) that can piss one off? What could have happened to a cool looking guy coming from the convenience?
Does it stink? You ask.

Ladies in the room steer in awe at this guy who walks down to his friend sitting beside the potted flowers below a non-responding air conditioner, which can’t be referred to nothing but an electrical hand fan, causing more discomfort with its clicking noise than the coolness needed.

“What’s wrong?” His friend asks as he sits “It’s just nonsense in there, no drop of water, I didn’t notice till I finished and all I could see was a little roll of tissue.” My friend and I noticing them, unconsciously burst into laughter, but could it not have been. “It’s alright.” His friend pleaded as they left.

Let’s come to think of it, which could be better, a bottle of water or roll of tissue? Or perhaps which do you prefer? Which makes you cleaner, comfortable?

I remember then in High School days when curses were rained on students who messed up the water system toilet with papers, tissues and pads. The whole school is then been punished, unwarranted punishments back then. Back home, mum would always beat the younger ones for messing up the toilet, leaving the uncles and aunts behind, but are they really innocent, I mean the uncles and aunts? Well, office toilet and even their individual private toilets now judge.



Some days back, I went to visit a friend and entering the compound links me with shouts and curses dropping rather too simultaneously from an old woman (a neighbour within) saying loudly “foolish people, dirty, dirty figs (pigs she meant), manimals (animals instead)”. See! “There’s just no happiness in a community like this,” my friend said.

She bursts into laughter after this and all I could conclude was… would you rather not laugh off things that hurt you but others find fun? And of course, this is Lagos where there’s no right and wrong in most neighbourhoods, they’re just there to live life however it comes their way.

This on another note got me thinking about rolls and drops, (water and tissues rolls). What would you rather use after doing the ‘real thing’ in the convenience? Whichever way you prefer, accepted, make sure its best to your use within, and when you out there too – do it the best way everyone else will appreciate.

Saving you the embarrassment, do the mess to yourself. Bear with the eateries, restaurants, they can’t satisfy everyone. Or better still try the ‘bests’, but can they meet everyone as well?

It’s your dough that tells it. So, No comment!
