As a part of my duties as an evil-doer, I sometimes am required to travel to distant locations and far reaches of the earth. This week, I find myself in Singapore. While here, I've witnessed some things that are indeed post-worthy. These events have passed from me to you via the web in a neverednding miracle of magic called the world-wide web: which allows for a jacksass like me, to post details of a journey like this.
Observation 1: Lost in translation
And I quote "Equipment to cleansing the buttocks with warm water". I could try to come up with some witty comment about this, but, ultimately, would it be any funnier than that? This sign was in an airport bathroom in Tokyo......I don't know about an imropteu buttock washing in a Tokyo airport.
Observation #2: Familiarity is Key
Despite previous observations, I am now creeped out by elevators NOT made by Otis. Why the hell are these people using non-otis elvators? Cheap bastards! Don't they know that the Otis elevator company is the largest supplier of elevator technolgy to the free world? I find myslef standing in the evelvator, noticing its non -Otisness and thinking that this will be the last moment of my life, staring at the name of the elevator company that banned me to the third ring of Hades which is reserved for mimes, car salesmen and salvation army santa bell ringers.
Observation #3: Asian dudes make me cool
While I will admitg to having seen Def Leppard in concert, to having a secret place in my heart for "Pour some Sugar on me", I can say that I do not have an entire collecion of Def Leppard ringtones loaded on my phone.

That is tremendous.
What a great post. You are an international explorer of the weird.
I do not think you would ever see "equipment for cleansing the buttocks" here in the US..someone would be offended and sue.
Not all elevators are made by Otis? I would be creeped out too.
I have their first three records, but my phone is not one of the places I would keep something like that.
Glad you are cool in Asia. There is hope for all of us!!
