odd conversations... i think NOT

so as i sat waiting for one of my classes to start i overheard this conversation...typical for BYU you know the kind of kids who are out to solve the "serious" problems of the world...trying to change the world one bathroom at a time. 


"you know we could save a lot of energy if they just had one size of drinking fountain"

this comment alone was enough to stop me in my tracks
so i paused...... and listened to the rest of this 
weird conversation that went something like this 

second friend "no really?"

"yeah i mean No one ever drinks out of the small drinking fountains because why would
you drink out of a small drinking fountain when you could drink you of a big drinking fountain?"

"oh"

"yeah so get rid of the big drinking fountains and just use the small one then no one would have 
to choose between the two sizes of drinking fountains and you could save room AND energy"

"right... i think you are on to something here"

"oh and you know what other idea i had, you know the bathrooms at the conference center
(yes the L.D.S. conference center but of course here on campus this needs no verification)  
well if you haven't noted, there is always a line in front of the womans restrooms 
NO (gasp) really? 
so i was thinking about it and the men and womens restrooms are the same size right? 

"yeah i suppose so"

"ok well then you know if they just made the womens restroom larger then there wouldn't be such 
a big line."

NO WAY a light just went on... 

so what i learned today is that if the restrooms were build bigger they would accommodate more people wow i
cannot believe that it only took that boy 22 years of his life to figure that out! this could change public
restrooms for good!
