# 31 - Travel Day......The Answer to the WTF#A3

Marci & I spent most of today traveling in the car, so she gets to rest, and I will deal with the writing.

The current WTF quiz was a mixed bag....Marci thought it was a good puzzler, while I had doubts. And I was right....most of the good and incorrect guesses were from women, while many men know right away what they were looking at.....

Here again is the photo:

There was a definite sex-bias to this quiz.

Among the incorrect guesses were several thoughts about a place to wash your feet. Perhaps like an Islamic pre-Mosque ritual....

The many man who were correct all saw it for what it was - a large urinal. This urinal was in one of the many museums we visited, and is much nicer than any in the USA. It is designed to handle several men at once. Good for museums, ballparks, concert halls, schools, etc. Quite nice, in stainless steel. Also, spotlessly clean.

So, a few words about bathrooms in Australia and NZ.

First, they are always referred to as 'toilets'.....not restrooms, nor bathrooms. Not the mens room, nor the loo, nor the WC. Ask where the bathroom is in a restaurant, and you get a puzzled look - the signs all say 'Toilet'.

As a guy who spent a good portion of my working career selling, distributing, and consulting on washroom supplies ( yet another euphemism) I can speak with some authority on this - Antipodean Toilets, as a group, are the cleanest I've ever seen. Even the most modest bar has a slick, clean, and well furnished toilet.

As far as urinals go, most are not like the group 'urinator' pictured, but a standard one person setup. But almost all are newer and modern, like these-

   

I've yet to see, after no less than ??120 public toilets, a typical American urinal, like a Crane or American Standard.....they only have ones that are nicer than in my home. Almost all are handsfree flush.

And as Marci previously mentioned, there does not exist a toilet that doesn't have a ' dual flush' system...not anywhere....if you are still unfamiliar, here is what that looks like on the tank or walll:
