Banquet

So the gym club had it's banquet tonight. Which was pretty fun. We ate hamburgers, chicken, and other assorted snacks. Leilah's husband, Patrick, made us all mudslides. I hadn't had one of those before. I think they could use more chocolate, and a bit less alcohol, but it was still good. Roseline told us about some of her stay in Ukraine. Specifically she told us about not showering for two weeks and public bathrooms. She said that by the end of two weeks she could run her hand through her hair and stick it strait up like in "Something about Mary." Apparently the public bathrooms are so gross that it is not uncommon for people to use the sidewalk. So she had a four hour ride ahead of her and had to use one of these things. She went in and found that one of the holes in the ground was literally overflowing and that another had shit smeared on the wall. Apparently people step in the over-flowing yucky stuff and then wipe their feet on the wall to get it off. After that she decided the sidewalk was a better place to go to the bathroom. The take home message here is to be very thankful for flush toilets.
