Rural wit

Excerpts from the bathroom wall of the local eatery in a small town in the south of the province:

Fall Courses for Men
All workshops limited to 8 participants due to the complexities of the subject matter

Can a toilet roll change itself? 2 hours. Demonstration and round-table discussion

Do dirty dishes levitate themselves to the kitchen sink? 1 hour. Hands-on workshop followed by debate

The fundamental difference between the laundry hamper and the floor. 2 hours. Slide show and panel discussion

Dealing with loss of identity when you lose the remote to your significant other....

...etc., etc. I was in tears. Not because I think men's domestic incompetence is a reality and I can totally relate (I'm worse at changing the toilet roll, and besides, you just know they had the men's version in their can, likely with the categories of nagging, talking on the phone and taking too long to get ready when you're only going to the grocery store) but it was just so well-worded. I really wish I had a camera so I could just put it all up for you, word-for-word.
