I felt odd taking a picture while in the public lavatory, but I couldn't resist. I thought this diagram and corresponding toilet seat cover system were needlessly complicated and funny.
In honor of needless complications and their resulting hilarity, let's have another contest!
This week's contest:
(1) Do you recognize this diagram? Where have you seen it? Where do think this public restroom is located?
(2) What do you think inspired me, other than its complicated silliness, to document this stall scene?
This week's prize:
A 55 Fiction for and inspired by you.
The winner will be announced in this post's comment section by Thursday evening PST or when I spot the winner sooner.
Here are the nifty and snappy contest rules. Find out what a 55 is there, too.

Ok, I am gonna take a couple of guesses here ...
Where ~ airport &
influenced by ~ my Flickr photo of the restroom.
Am I close?
Smooch,
The Tart
I think it was the O'Hare airport and you were inspired by the constant flushing the toilet made even DURING your dirty business.
The last time I saw one of those, I was flying to Germany... so I have to guess the airport too. I'm trying to remember which airport. I have this feeling that we flew out of Detroit, but O'Hare seems the better guess. I'm in the Detroit airport more often, and I don't remember them being there last time.
I'm always amused by the way people don't know what to do with them, even though there are instructions.
Jocelyn: You were close.
Mike: You are 1/2 right. It is the O'Hare Airport. And it is an auto-flushing toilet, but the diagram is posted for another automatic thing that the toilet does.
Sleep Goblin: You're right about O'Hare, too.
Everybody: Within Sleep Goblin's comment is a hint as to why I took the picture!
Hmmm... interesting WV:

poolr (poo lure): ewww!
(Mike, did you get another job? Are you writing these WV's?)
Umm.. You didn't know what to do with it??!??
See, I tried to answer without answering last time, so I wouldn't be wrong.
Ok, I guess O'Hare airport (did I win did I win??!!??)
And of course, you were inspired to take the picture because of my very recent Castle contest, which you lost miserably. :-)
Mike: Did you read the rules about winning in the past 4 weeks? You were supposed to throw people off, not help them! *sigh*
Willie: Sure, Willie, just rub the old salt in my wounds. Kick a girl when she's down.
HINT: I was reminded and inspired by an experience I had recently. I wrote a post about it.
I know I know!! It was that crazy girl who couldn't use the faucet, and had a shirt that called people stupid. Silly ironic girl!
Good job, Sleep Goblin! You are the winner.
Thank you everybody who participated.
Wasn't that fun?
:)
