Flush Away in Honor of World Toilet Day
We were all prepared to snark about potty humor when we first heard about the Seattle Public Library’s celebration of World Toilet Day this Sunday afternoon. (A toilet puppet show? The opportunity to TP a librarian? C’mon!) But it turns out that World Toilet Day—formally on Friday, Nov. 19—is no joke: It’s raising awareness about sanitation crises in developing countries, where 2.6 billion people don’t have access to toilets and thousands of kids die every day from various resulting diseases. The educational event planned for this weekend at the Central Library takes a lighthearted approach to the topic, as evidenced by the presence of Charlie “The Noiseguy” Williams, a local “sound impressionist.” Imagine the kid-friendly commode-related comedy gold.
