They're stored in the museum basements along with all the kinky sex stuff.
How about Debussy's La Mer? I've never been much for impressionist music, but in here, it has a fighting chance...

"Water water everywhere, and not a drop to drink".
"Did you know urine is sterile, you can drink it".
and other famous toilet quotes

shazzPRME Posted Jun 18, 2000
Um BB... 'tis actually:
Nor any drop to drink!
But hey... lets not split hairs here!
To quote from a schoolboy howler:
'Owing to slackness of demand,
There was a great slut in the market!'

My theory is Coleridge meant to write "not a drop" but was far too stoned to realise what he was writing
the gents
shazzPRME Posted Jun 19, 2000
HAHAHAHA! You are probably correct!
According to a shoolboy:
There are 3 kinds of Downs:
North, South and Eider
... and the Matterhorn was a horn
blown by the ancients when anything
was the matter!

Hello Superdreamer
I knew somebody who was a big fan of Armitage shanks- he reckoned their toilets were far superior to any others! Maybe he wrote the song (The AS factory is in Rugely)

Fashion Cat Posted Jun 21, 2000
*Glances through the door, seeing no-one around, goes to wall beside urinals, puls out tipp-ex, stretches as tall as I can and draws a line.*
How high can you go?
*Tip toes quietly out*
the gents
shazzPRME Posted Jun 22, 2000
*shazz enters with step-ladders, positions them alongside FC's writing, draws a line much higher and writes:
'Higher then you!'

Pierre de la Mer ~ sometimes slightly worried but never panicking ~ Posted Jun 22, 2000
*enters, studies lines with interest, leaves and returns shortly after carrying a pair of stilts,a brush and a bucket of paint. Paints a yellow line on the ceiling and writes "see if you can match this..."
Walks out again*
the gents
Bluebottle Posted Jun 22, 2000
*Enters, sees line on the ceiling, exits, gets a ladder, climbs on top of the building, and draws a line at the very top of the roof.*
Hah!
