John, yours is great, but Bob's right, it doesn't express its views on its owners so much as wax philosophical on its heavy load in life. Maybe you could alter it a bit so as to fit the bill. It would be a pity to flush this one down the tubes.

For us (and I think I speak for my compatriots) 'toilet' is the seat but 'bathroom' is the room (e.g. you s(h)it on the toilet, but you go to the bathroom) although many other euphemisms come to mind: restroom, washroom (more popular in Canada), comfort station. Lavatory is used, though less frequently. I've even heard 'powder room' though I think that's a relic of a past generation. We do understand loo, BTW. I've even been known to use it now and then, when I'm trying to sound high-falutin'. Fascinating topic. (In college I was a scatology major.)

Bob, I love the uneasy chair!
