Isn't This A GREAT Men's Room?

Men's Restroom

I received this in an email from my husband today and it cracked me up! You may have seen it before, but it was the first time for me. I googled the name of the firm that was given credit for the design and found out that incorrect information is included in the email I got. So, to set the record straight for those of you that may think this is in New York City, Perron Group created the mural and it is located in a men's restroom at Sofitel, a five-star hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Ann, I haven't witnessed this "first Hand" but I have seen this photo out on the web before, what a great concept for a men's room. Would like to see the ladies room version...bunch of men staring at their watches and looking bored.

This is most interesting! I think that I shall apply to become a mural on the wall! Great artwork.....I do wonder if performance in the job at hand becomes a problem for the user of the john! :o)

Just stopped by to invite you to the ActiveRain Super Bowl Party. Stop by if you get a chance. Geaux Saints!

Some men might never come out of that men's room.

Ann, I stopped back by to read the comments and in light of Kelly's response #24, I thought I would share this.

In Chicago, (and this was in the late '70's) I used to go to a Pub that was in the basement of a prominent Hospital/Dental School, yes I said in the basement of a Dental School one could buy beer!!! Anyway, the bathroom was co-ed...open to all...male and female...as in at the same time!!!...imagine that.

The first time I used the facility was a bit of a shock and thought I walked into the wrong room...and then I see the urinals...so I'm in the right place...but what are these women doing in here?...they of course used the stalls with doors. Well, it took a little getting used to it, but funny thing was...oh hell, it was still strange...I'm not sure I ever got used to it. But I must admit that since then, unlike Kelly, I've had no shy bladder problems.
