Hi, Jaxy - just to clarify;

This is what the men's washroom at Cirque de Soleil looks like.

The building code didn't exactly specify on this point on handicap accessibility when we renovated to open the club.

Me thinks we've covered all possible handicap issues.

Now we gotta take care of the women's washroom next, before we call for final inspection.

Hey Joe, did you order those 41 bidets yet?

And don't forget about ordering a pressure washer to clean the place - probably 1750 PSI, 65 GPM - oh and yeah,.... about 25 skidloads of toilet paper.

What? Is it really that different from the champagne fountain? It is just a recycled champagne fountain.

Something I just noticed about this unique sculpture. The stepping stone layout implies that the single commode in the back is meant to be used, but not the sink. Where is this strange assembly?

Restroom Giant approved. The one at the top is for the guy who lost a lot of weight but had a lot of loose skin. He went to a doctor who worked the skin up to the top of his head then cut off the excess. He said to the patient:

"You can just put on a hat and nobody will notice."

The guy replied:

"But doc, my bellybutton is on my forehead, and this ain't no necktie!"

If you drilled a little hole on each side aimed to cascade into the urinal below, you would have an art fountain worthy of MOMA.

Florida has passed regulations requiring Art in Public Spaces.

The ADA has required some changes when designing public restrooms.

And now the economic climate is going to force compromises in designs.
