Most people lie down in the resrtoom after a few too many this leaves them hugging the loo for dear life, rather than playing shuffleboard. I always wondered: if you came out of the washcloset are you clean AND gay? I know I would feel gay to no longer be struck with the physical feeling of urgency it would almost be like I took a rest from daily life in a room specifically named for such an event! I might even want even be up for shuffleboard! But I couldn't ask to use the toilet. According to American custom, that is rude. ;-P
