Who is it?

Early this morning while riding my bike, I was passed by someone on a bike with long mid-back brown hair and wearing very short hot pants and a skimpy halter top. When I got closer,  I found out that the lovely young thing was actually a guy of about fifty and he was wearing 'older people's glasses'.

'It's a beautiful world'.

My dear toilet

Maybe you remember the story about my washlet toilet which somebody stole, don't you?

When we had this beauty, a number of middle aged guys would always come to my floor to use it. It has now been replaced by a very small, dirty and uncomfortable toilet. But these same guys keep coming to use it.

Is it possible that men can become attached to a toilet?
