So this is what they mean by being in "the shit".

Looks a lot nicer than most public bathrooms here in NYC.

Hey, if they weren't there they could be shitting in their own toilet instead!

At least it helps even out the tan a little bit.

Humor aside, I just spoke with my friend Chris who's about to finish his post-second-tour-stop-loss in May.

He talks about porcelain toilets the way most of us talk about girls.

^I'm not sure what you mean by that last reference, but I think you mean the way most of us talk about the USS Enterprise.
