The differences in bathroom ballet
by: Andrew Roberts
The Bathroom Ninja
In the last newspaper Emilee Duvall wrote a story about how Emergency button saves students. Referring of course to the button on the toilet’s in the bathroom, that if pushed, the toilet will flush making sure that if your the last person to use that particular comode, you didn’t leave a gift for the next person to walk into that stall. And young Emilee believes that people should use this, because no one likes to leave anything behind in the toilets, but this is not true about everyone. No matter how gross it may sound, there are people who try and bi-pass the censors to see if they can get the toilet not to flush.
For example: it’s second block you can’t hold it anymore, so you get your agenda, you ask the teacher if you can go, she/he says that you may, so you take off in a hurry. Once your done your about ready to leave when you hear a bathroom stall very slowly creek open, and then a hand, the arm that hand belongs to, the shoulder that leads to the neck that reveals the face, of the person that hand belongs to. Its a dude trying his hardest to get out of the stall without tripping the censor. At first glance one might think thats this person was up to no good, well in a way they are, but it’s funny.
Emilee talks about people doing a little dance in attempt to get the toilet to flush, well this may be true for the ladies of Apollo High School, but what I’ve seen from the males they are doing a different kind of ballet. Girls dance to make the toilet flush, while guys dance to make the toilet not. Now this may sound stupid, or maybe even a little childish, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is incredibly amusing.
The Bathroom Ninja: A person who sneaks out of the stall, stealth is there biggest asset. These people very slowly sneaking out of the bathroom, and the stall. These people are talented in many ways (I mainly say this because, well, I am the greatest Bathroom Ninja that has ever lived. If you think that you are better then me, well if you can’t prove it, it don’t mean nothing.)
The Blocker: The person who before they begin there business puts their hand up in front of the censor and then when they are done very slowly removes there hand in attempt to trick the censor. These people are just plain lazy, they just put there hand in the way, wooo good job.
The Sloth: These people are very fun to watch, they believe that if they move ever so slowly almost moving where its not noticeable to the human eye that the person is actually moving , that the censor won’t notice that the person was ever there, or that they even moved. This method never, ever, not even once has worked. Why does this method never work, well ladies and gentlemen, the censors also have timers, and the time it takes you to eventually move out of the way of the censor the timer will go off, and the toilet will flush. The best method to avoid the censor and trick the toilet, comode, pottie, the john is of course, The Bathroom Ninja, happy flushes.
