how many toilet brushes. . .

. . .does one person need? Let's say a person has five toilets and will soon have eight, total. Talk about a pot to piss in! What is the brush/toilet ratio?
No wonder she was considering becoming a plumber, some of you will say. Those of you who do not know what a debacle my first effort at plumbing proved to be (the floor wasn't level and I shoulda used TWO wax rings) may be shouting encouragement from the sidelines. "There's a plumbing class at Home Depot especially for women," you will say. I know that you have ulterior motives. In the inimitable words of possibly the stupidest children's book ever published, "Everybody poops." Even rich people. Even you--yes, you know who you are.
But think about it. If the toilet brush/toilet ratio is 1:1, I will own 8 toilet brushes. That seems like a lot, especially on top of:
4 refrigerators
3 coffee grinders
many assorted toasters
8 phones and counting
3 power drill kits
and don't even think about the linens.
So, one to one or, say, one to three? Your call.

  1. Depends entirely on who is going to be cleaning the toilets and his/her patience for searching far and wide for "ce qu'il faut."

  3. I say 1:per flight of stairs. What is the math of the toilets per separation of stairs or a walk outside?

  4. I remember when all you had was a pot to piss in. A chamber pot. Remember? Back when hammocks and surfboards hung from unfinished walls?

  5. Pinkie: I do remember those days. The chamber pot underneath the caned chair with no bottom in it. Then there was Incinolet of fame and flame. And now a veritable honeyfall of honeypots.
