Putting the pee back in Presley?

Blog Guy, you’ve written a lot about toilet facilities overseas, a topic of great interest to Americans planning to travel. Anything else we should be on the lookout for in foreign lands?
Yes. Some tourists may be surprised at the large number of places offering THREE kinds of restrooms instead of just two.
Really? Three options?
Yes. Men’s, Women’s and Elvis, to accommodate the large number of Elvis impersonators in most foreign countries.
There are so many of them that they need their own bathrooms?
Well, they do tend to plant themselves in front of the mirror and never move.
Still, it astounds me that Elvis impersonators would get special bathrooms!
Really? After getting their own elevators, their own car lanes and their own Starbucks, this seems pretty logical to me.

Vanilla Thrilla in Manila?
Lol… the last pic is hilarious… Dont ask me why… it just is… teeeheeeeheeeee…
Elvis … the king of medidoughnuts!
A whole lotta shaking going on in the last pic.
I’ve heard about some of the gals in Manila. I just hope these “Elvi” they don’t get the Burnin’ Love!
Looking at that last picture, I am reminded that one anagram of ‘Elvis Presley’ is ‘Silver Spy Eel’
69Spinster, you have a valid question there. Are they co-ed bathrooms? Ewww!
How ’bout the Manilla versions of all the old Elvis songs:
“You Ate Nothin’ But the Hound Dog”
“Blue Suede Elevator Shoes”
“Funky Funky Burnin’ Love”
Ya gotta love the classics!
Spin, you figured out the reason i said the pic was funny!
High five, Spin!
@T54..one is allowed only three shakes. After that one is to be considered *playing* with it. That’s proper urinal ettiquete.
I strongly recommend leaving that work to the reuters guys…
Spin, you could do a documentary. Call it “The Urinal: Look up, look down, but never to the side.”
@Spin, not that I am aware of. You might be thinking of something similar though entitled “Life in the Penal Colony: Don’t Drop The Soap.”
