Winning Entry Says More about Cell Phones than Toilets

Comments (0)

I mentioned a few weeks ago, a “Tell Us Your Best Toilet Story” contest from American Standard.

The winning entry, submitted by Emily Horos of Atlanta GA, has now been chosen. Here’s the beginning of it:

It Works As a Phone, Too
I lived in a house with two female roommates, so toilet paper was never in surplus.
One night while watching a movie in surround sound in the living room, I felt the call of nature and exited the room for the adjacent bathroom.

I did my business and reached for some toilet paper before noticing that the roll was empty. No worries. We kept a stock of extra under the sink as this was the only bathroom in the house. I opened up the cupboard only to find it bare as well. Read the rest here.
