#1 or #2?

The Portland International Airport bathrooms offer a flushing option. If you take a piss, or #1 as they call it, you push the handle down which only uses a small amount of water. If you take a dump, or, you guessed it, a #2, then pull the handle up for more flushing power and water. So many issues with this. I wonder how many people accidentally do a #1 flush when they actual took a #2 dump. What happens? Does it get stuck? Does half of it go down? Do two #1 flushes use more water than one #2 flush? What if you go #3 (diarrhea)? Should the #2 flush be adequate or do you need a #1 and #2? Hell, maybe you’ll need two #2’s. Or, like more people than I ever imagined do, you could just not flush the toilet at all! God that’s fucking SICK. At a former job they practiced a “yellow toilet”. Every time I went into the bathroom there was a piss (or 5) in the toilet. Mmmm. Just what I want to look at and smell and be near. All my coworkers piss. Guess what…I always flushed the toilet full of piss before I took my piss…and then I flushed it again.
