September 26, 2012 Tork vs.Torque


I love bathroom humor.  Who doesn't?  Be honest.  Who doesn't love bathroom humor?  I know you do because you are still reading.

Anyway.

Torque: a moment of force; force necessary to rotate an object about an axis.  I think this is a physics term.  I don't know because the closest I've ever been to physics is paying for Luke's physics textbooks.

Tork: in an unknown bathroom somewhere in Manhattan.  What exactly is the "moment of force"?  Is it when something comes out or when something is trying to be cleaned up?  There are just so many questions:  why would you name a toilet paper dispenser "Tork"?  Isn't the first thing people would think of would be "torque"?  Like in "torque wrench"?  I just don't get it.

I'm keeping my eyes open in bathrooms from now on, that's for sure.  There are a lot of funny things to see there.  And I am not talking about the mirror.

While I'm on the subject:  I was in the bathroom today and knew that someone was in the stall next to me.  I was doing my thing when I heard a voice in the next stall say "Hold on".

WHAT THE HELL?????

She was talking on the phone while I was peeing?

WHO DOES THAT?????

WHO TELLS THAT PERSON TO "HOLD ON"?

I must admit that after I heard that, I began making noises that gave both of those people nightmares.

My bet is that she will not talk on her cell phone in the toilet again.
