a pitch for advanced classes




I have no idea what to make of this.

I found it while attempting to Google the meaning of the phrase "drop toilet."

Well here's what I make of this...

The 'teacher' is an unprofessional (jeans, untucked shirt, unkempt person) asshole, in love with the sound of his pompousity and pseudo intellectualism.

If my phone had been treated thusly the only thing that would keep me from the untold joy of making him eat the pieces of my dead phone would be the more profoundly enjoyable judgement I could get in civil court after having the judge watch this video.

BTW what the heck is a drop toilet?

You either didn't know and were trying to find out, or you do know and you were doing research to find out what others know.

Either way you know way to much about this and I'm having not the slightest inclination to google it myself!

Are you writing another book? Is 'drop' a noun or adjective? Have you simply hooked us with defiinition #3 from Websters? Perhaps you are researching how to groom one's self while flying down the stairs on the way to an appointment (definition #2). Or most improbably, are you working on the archaic #1, having had your dressing table fall on your foot?

Back to the drop toilet. Were you thinking of the "long drop"?

The long-drop, a practical solution to a difficult problem, is basically a large, deep hole. Usually it has a concrete lid with a small hole in it. The idea is that you squat over the hole. Your excrement has a long drop to the bottom. I've no idea what happens when the thing fills up, but I suppose that it's covered over permanently and a new one dug.

Oh, I'm not logged in. It's me, Liz Ditz.
