please don’t poop here!

It’s not every day that you go to the bathroom and the toilet requests that there be “no shitting here”!

And it’s not every day that it’s accompanied by a little illustration of a turd in turmoil.

NLGX in Nanluoguxiang has such a toilet.

First came the actual sign.

Then came a translation, with more illustrations.

It’s enough to give anyone bathroom anxiety, if one weren’t laughing so hard.

(My friend Brae also blogged about this, in a much more timely manner than I did!)

    Hey, for the sake of your readers, I just wanted to stick the link to the interview I just transcribed with the guys of NLGX:
