I consider myself a fairly environmentally conscious person. I recycle, use energy saving light bulbs, buy/eat locally, etc, I'm even a catch and release spider girl. beetles, lizards, mice… safe. the only things that don't generally survive in my house are mosquitoes (re:weekday warrior) and flies because they're evil.
But if someone says to me moot, you need to cut back on the elephant burgers, I'm generally open to changing my ways for the betterment of mankind. however, there is one wee enviro doctrine that's been needling my conscience.
it's the pee thingy.
"if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down".
I try, I really do, but I just can't do it. there's something fundamentally wrong about peeing into a bowl of pee. it goes against everything your mother's taught you.
guys, you're used to peeing on things. you have direction and purpose. we have the splash factor.
as for the second half of the doctrine… duh. I don't even want to go there.
so I confess and I apologize to anyone who's been under the impression I've been adhering to the requests, signage, and house rules. I've been nodding, smiling, and lying my face off. "if it's yellow, flusherello"
moot or hooey?
in the middle ages, people used to throw their poop onto the streets below, which was from where the chivalrous act of men walking on the road-side of women was born
