Sprinkler System Splashback

There was an unsavoury development at the Tulip & Tiara on Sunday night. The Men's room developed a plumbing fault and was out of order some time last week but by Sunday it was open to traffic again. The management had come up with a novel way of keeping the urinals spotless. Thick black plastic wrap.

By the time you've had a few beers and have estimated that you are ten seconds away from disaster, the last thing you want to be confronted with as you dive in there, sprinkler system in hand, is a black plastic sealed urinal that sprays the stuff back at you as fast as you can produce it. At least I noticed it was there and made a detour to the Crapper. Plenty of other guys hadn't bothered.

Reminds me

Reminds me of a trick played on an unpopular boss once. Someone cling-filmed the executive washroom w.c. Rotten trick that. Ruined the guy's afternoon. Gave a whole new meaning to the word splashback.

Update

Made the two mile walk to the Tulip again tonight and the blackwrap is still in place. If this goes on much longer I'll have to get some spaceman underpants.
