Here I Sit Broken Hearted.....

     I am sure that there are many if you who will recognize the start of that limerick. But the point I am trying to make is that when the need arises there are many places in this valley where one can go to the washroom. And of course in going to the washroom it may involve using toilet paper.

     Because of the nature of my job I travel from one end of the Valley to the other which results in my having to utilize many different washrooms. Some good and some not so good.

     There are a number of places with portapotties, Goose Spit and the Royston Trail Head for example. Fairly clean and the TP is industrial but usable. Same goes for the pit toilets at Seal Bay Park and Kitty Coleman. But the one that really frosts my monkey is the Tim Horton's.

     I know that Timmies are locally owned and operated so there will be some variation on the quality of the TP. But the guy in the Valley who has now four Tim's, which is one more locations than McDonald's, must be the cheapest franchise owner in the Valley. Does he use regular TP on a multi roll dispenser like most other restaurants.

     NO! NO! NO!

     At our local Tim Horton's the TP that you will be required to endure is those little stupid folded squares like mini napkins which are so damn thin you would think that you were in France the home of the World's Cheapest Toilet Paper. In fact, the way a Frenchman has to clean his ass is to take a piece of toilet paper, poke his finger through the middle of the paper, use his finger to clean his ass and then clean his finger when he pulls the toilet paper off of it. 

     I implore you. I beg of you. The next time you are in a Tim Horton's in the Comox Valley, regardless if you use the washroom or not, take the time to fill out a comment card and tell the owner that the TP he is providing his customers is the SHITS.
