Heh heh heh - that's pretty good! And that's what I get for
writing these in pieces and trying to put the puzzle together later.
I'll bet the gender differences in the public's treatment of your restrooms
does sound vaguely familiar, though.

As a former General Manager of public facilities (bowling centers,
in my
case), I can say a couple of things about this situation with a
fair amount of
certainty. For one, cameras in public restrooms are downright
illegal, so
trying to catch the thugs is iffy at best. Second, the pure
vandalism in a
men's room is much worse than in the women's. Quite frankly, while
the women are
bigger pigs with paper and trash strewn about in greater
quantities, we
never had a toilet bowl smashed with a bowling ball in the women's
room like we
did - repeatedly - in the men's rooms. That particular phenomenon
was common
enough that if I found a really good deal on replacement commodes,
I'd get
one or two extras because I knew we'd need 'em sooner or later.
Sound familiar, Slotguy?
