• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Latest & Greatest...

Went to dinner with the wife last night (early birthday celebration) and noticed an interesting gadget in the men's room. It was a hand-wave motion sensor that opens the entrance door automatically when you leave, so you don't have to touch the door handle with your (hopefully) freshly-washed paws. Nice feature for germophobic folks. :rolleyes:

The best thing is to have the hand-wash sink outside the restroom:
  1. Step out of restroom and notice several people looking to see if you wash up.
  2. Turn on water, lather up and rinse - don't turn off water yet.
  3. Use motion sensor towel dispenser.
  4. Dry hands.
  5. Use the towel that's still in your hands to turn off faucet.
I've acutally seen a small diner that was set up this way.
