October, 1989: A North Carolina company has introduced
"Talking Tissue," a novelty gadget which fits the standard
toilet paper dispenser. Each time the tissue is pulled, you
hear one of four recordings: "Yuk-yuk," "Stinky-stinky,"
"Nice one-nice one," or alarm bells.

January, 1990: A man in Lawrence, Kansas, spent a night
underneath an outhouse after he fell through the seat trying
to retrieve his wallet. He was rescued by Sheriff Loren
Anderson, who said the man wasn't injured, "but in a pretty
ugly mood."

January, 1990: Over 20 toilets and urinals in the King
County, Washington, Court House erupted after being flushed.
Apparently, a plumber who was making repairs mistakenly
switched an air compressor with a water line.

December, 1989: Police employees in Concord, California,
filed a $30 million lawsuit against the Concord Police
Department after they found a hidden camera installed above
a urinal in the men's room. Police Chief George Straka
explained that the surveillance was necessary to catch the
culprit who had clogged the urinal a few times, causing it
to flood the chief's office downstairs.

June, 1989: Singapore courts fined a man $75 for urinating
in an elevator. Police nabbed him in the elevator after the
urine detector locked the elevator doors. A hidden video
camera recorded the whole event and the footage was later
used as evidence.

True story!
The judge's chambers at our local courthouse was recently renovated. The jail, is on the third floor . The judge's chambers on the second floor. When court was in session, the in-mates would wad-up toilet paper, clogging the toilets and flooding the courtroom below! This had gone on for several years. The only times this would happen was when there was a 'guilty' verdict!
