The Suggestion Box

Location: Starbucks (because they're just public bathrooms that serve coffee, anyway)


For those of you who are interested in great coffee in New York City and have time, I'd try these spots - especially Birch. Great coffee, awesome tea, a pleasant sitting area, fantastic service, and it sometimes serves as a venue for local artists and comedians. Best yet, they deliver a mean grilled cheese - what more could you ask for?

A bonus picture for the long weekend:


I thought this was funny considering DuChamp's more famous works including a urinal called "The Fountain." Happy Memorial Day!

Ass Kisser

Location: Hudson River public bathroom off of Christopher Street

Let me just say, decorating public bathrooms is not easy. It takes a significant amount of planning ahead and even then, you never know what you're going to end up with. In this situation, I was cramped in a stall with people attempting to hotbox the entire bathroom on the other side of the panel and transsexual hookers yelling into the bathroom and at passerby outside ("Dammnnnn it smells gooood in there. Oh hey baby, look at that fiiiine thing"). I have no doubt that Christopher Street will inevitably be the reason I use the "bear repellent" I keep on my key chain for the first time ever.

Also, I discovered that the automatic flush is my worst enemy. This toilet flushed vehemently and in a manner that caused a lot of splashing onto the seat. Thus, I had to try and dodge the sensor while decorating and even then, it flushed about 5 times during the few minutes I was in there - and yet for some reason, there is still toilet paper in the bowl - no idea where that came from.

Argh, Matey! Let Me See Your Booty!

Dissatisfied with my initial debut, Burke more or less demanded I make some changes (he's sooo high maintenance). Thankfully, it was in my own apartment (as opposed to a public place as the next ones will be) so editing it was actually a possibility. I tried a goatee and a beard but both looked gross. Still, it looks better than before (Thanks, Burke).

After:



Yes, that is a parrot on my toilet's shoulder and yes, he has a hook for a flusher, a hoop earring, and yes, he really does want to see your booty even when nobody else does, the scoundrel.

(As my first, official toilet decoration, I felt it was appropriate to do it in my own apartment for the enjoyment of me & my roommates. Selfish? Maybe a little.)

Special thanks to Burke, Katie, and Spencer for putting up with all my toilet-talk and giving me some great ideas. And thanks, Sarah Louisa for letting me use your camera!

Welcome to Potty Humour!

Potty Humour is a blog that centers around decorating random, and yes, public toilets with paper and then sharing my excursions with you.

I already have an extensive list of prospective toilet decor currently in the works (much thanks to my friends) and will update as often as possible. If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, email me at pottyhumour@gmail.com. Thanks for plopping by!
