fatty face + food
Before you read the following story - take a good, long look at this photo. Ok, ready? So after finishing his lunch, Fatty goes to the bathroom when he comes out, he asks Liz and I "Hey, why can't you flush the toilet if there's a train in the station?"

Me: "Huh?"
Fatty: "There's a sign hanging in the bathroom. It says "Don't flush if train is at station."
Me: "Oh, well train toilets used to empty out onto the tracks so when a train was in the station, they didn't want people flushing the toilets which would cause the entire train station to reek like shit and piss."
Fatty: "Really?"
Me: "Yeah, it was like that back in the day."
Fatty: "Huh, that's neat."

        --thirty seconds of silence--

Fatty: "So wait, why can't you flush the toilets in here?"

I tried explaining that the sign was there because the entire restaurant was decorated in a "train motiff," but Fatty didn't believe me. He told us that after he'd peed, he kept looking out the window for a trainstation to see if there was a train in it. Hahaha. In the end, I had to call our waitress over and get her to corroborate my explanation.
