One thing I have learned in my 45 year working history, is to ALWAYS check the TP availability of the stall before the dropping of trou. That guy gives all of us old guys a bad rep.

A friend who use to be a cop told me this story. He and his partner stopped at a restruant for lunch. They had called in their location to dispatch. His buddy went to the bathroom and took a dump. The other is getting. His order and talking to everyone and had the volume on low. The one in the restroom starts calling his name very low wispering over the radio so like everyone else is not going. To hear but his buddy. He kept calling his. Name butt he was not listening to the radio. Over and over. We'll the rest of the department was listening to the radio and thought they were in trouble because why would he be whispering on the radio calling for his buddy if they are both together. The whole dept rushed over to back them up. When they get there they contact the one gossiping to everyone and they tell him that ? Been calling out to him for several minutes and they thought something happened. They go to the restroom and he is in one of the stalls needing toilet paper.

Provided they have a tech who is smart enough to make the exchange.

It's pretty common to see a local logger with the tails cut off their flannel shirt up here.

I ALWAYS have a small pack of flushable baby wipes in my pocket. I do service work all day in and out of customers houses. In the event I have one sneak up on me that can not be held back , and I have to use a customers bathroom , the last thing I want is to be asking them for some TP.
