Thread Name: BS: Stupid things said to you at work
Subject: RE: BS: Stupid things said to you at work
I worked as a student 'helper' at the Building & Grounds dept at Wichita State Univ. many years ago. We were on a break one day, when the head plumber walked in with the oddest look on his face.

"You ain't gonna believe this" he said...and proceeded to tell us of the phone call he had just gotten...

A few years before, the schoool had built a new arts center, complete with a dance studio...mirrors, ballet floor...very nice!....well, after a few years, it became apparent that 90% of the students who took dance were female, so it seemed silly to have dressing rooms/restrooms for BOTH men & women right there. It was decided that men could use the men's room a short way down the hall, and that the former mens room would be turned over to the women...great!

But...remember the plumber? He had just gotten a call for the new female dance instructor, who, after a couple weeks thought she'd enquire about something...

"You know," she said.."the girls really like the nice foot washers...but would it be possible to pipe WARM water to them?"

Yep...he had to explain that the embedded floor-length urinals were FAR to expensive to dig out and pipe warm water to!
