Do Not Flush
Paper Towels Or Foreign Objects
by Zvi A.
Sesling
Harry reads
the sign in the unisex bathroom:
Do Not Flush Paper Towels or Foreign Objects.
Harry wonders what exactly is a foreign
object. Perhaps a moon rock brought to Earth
by an astronaut or a Martian stone blasted here a
million years ago by a cataclysm on the red
planet. It might be something from another
country, a Swedish meatball, French pastry,
Haitian voodoo doll or Chinese bamboo stick.
Perhaps none of the above. Then Harry realizes
they must mean anything that is not toilet paper.
He thinks for a moment, takes off his shoes and
socks. The socks are Made In America so
he throws the socks in the toilet.
