The Men's Room

Don't smile Don't frown Don't turn around Don't make eye contact Don't wink Don't blink Don't even think About where you are at Don't say hey Don't wave Don't small talk make Stare straight at the wall Don't clear your throat Call someone bro Or make a joke Of okay now please cough You're a man Wash your hands Though that's not in the plan Dry them on your pants Walk to the door As you ignore All else but the floor Don't even think of looking back

Too funny! One time I was with my sis in the airport. She saw me come out of the restroom and thought she knew what direction I came from. Well needless to say, she saw a lot of standup guys...lol Didn't you come from that direction? She says and I was like noooooo.... And we laughed!
