There Is An Organization For Everything
It's World Toilet Day, as sponsored by the World Toilet Organization. Singapore is having a public exhibition to celebrate.
But I do wonder if our friends at the "WTO" know about this:
Somebody, call those people in Singapore, right now.
Dotting the city centre will be 28 life-sized cutouts of men and women with their pants down, squatting behind everyday objects, such as piece of luggage, a trash can and a bag of groceries.Is it just me, or is this a violation of Scripture?
"We want to make people think: How would you feel" if you had to do your business openly? Jack Sim, founding member of the Singapore-headquartered World Toilet Organisation, said Saturday at the launch of the four-day exhibition marking World Toilet Day.
Deut 23:12-14 - "You shall also have a place outside the camp and go out there, and you shall have a spade among your tools, and it shall be when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and shall turn to cover up your excrement. "Since the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to defeat your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you lest He turn away from you.Clearly God's plan provides for a lack of toilets! (I am being tongue-in-cheek here before I start getting too much hate mail)
But I do wonder if our friends at the "WTO" know about this:
The crushed remains of hundreds of cleaned and recycled porcelain toilets top off the Calaveras Park Nature Trail, officials said.Shouldn't they be recycled to those countries lacking toilets?
Somebody, call those people in Singapore, right now.
