I left out one very important thing from the ordering information. If
you want to order by mail, make the cheque payable to Looking Glass Software
Limited, or to Brad Templeton. Not to "jokebook" as one person asked!
Also, as I noted in an earlier joke posting, my office is open Thursday &
Friday. Sorry to clog up the group like this. I usually try to keep the
volume nice and low, and based on what I've had to accept recently to keep
it at 60/month, perhaps I should keep it lower. Oh yeah, in the USA, it's
OK if you write a check instead of a cheque. I'll accept either.

I never did understand why it was supposed to be MEN that were responsible
for the keeping of the toilet seat! Some women consistently complain (note
the SOME) when men leave the seat up, and also complain when men don't put
the seat up to begin with. Now I find the second disgusting, no one wants
to sit on a wet toilet seat. But if the last person in the bathroom was
female, the men are expected to lift the seat.

OK, I didn't post this last time it came around, but here is the
sign I have in my bathroom.

As an historical note, I left a military sub-contractor (which is why
the notice is cast in Milspeak) and lived for 3 weeks with a friend of
the female persuasion, who constantly got on my case to keep the seat
down. I vowed revenge when I got my own apartment, so

NOTICE TO USERS

The Water Closet Site Administrator (WCSITADMIN) for this
commode equipment unit has elected a Most Recently Used (MRU)
protocol with regard to the seat placement for the equipments
at this site.

All users are requested to make determination as to their
gender and intended use before attempting to use these equipments.
Users should then determine the desired seat placement, based on
this information, and chart 1, attached. Having made this deter-
mination, users should compare the actual seat placement, as
determined by direct observation, with the desired seat placement
determined above, and take the appropriate action, based on chart
2, attached.

It should be noted that the MRU protocol confers the following
advantages vice the more commonly attempted INTHAMITH protocol:

Worst-case turn-around is improved, as in no case are
two seat-adjustments required.

Worst-case throughput is improved, for above reasons.

Average-case throughput (random gender and use) is
improved, as no compensating adjustments are performed.

Average-case throughput as measured is improved due to
uneven gender distribution among users of a given equipment.

Wear and tear on the adjustment mechanism is reduced,
yielding a greater MTBF.

User feedback is immediate and automatic, yielding a
higher compliance rate.

Comments should be addressed to the WCSITADMIN.
