Use By Date?

Goldfinch60



It had to be done,

The toilet seat was breaking

So a new one I bought.

Replaced the old one

With the new one,

No problem,

Until I saw that there was a date,

A date on the underside of the seat.

It said three/ twenty twenty,

I do hope that is not the use by date,

As it was already

Twenty twenty one!

    Oh lol, good write Gold.
    Maybe it's the size of what has to sit on the seats!

    • Goldfinch60

      It may well be that Orchi.

        Yes, maybe. For KP I had to order size 500 - that's the circumference! Centimetres probably.

        In these days of our later years maybe the toilet seat should have a functional date mechanism topside so that as our memory fades we can bend over in front of a mirror looking at it from betwen our legs to check when we last sat upon the loo for bodily functions to perform...... or is this just another load of crap i should have deposited elsewhere.

        I think your number is a manufactured date.... if humans had one of those on their bum it would stop some people telling porkies unless they kept their little panties on.

          Crap is good, I have distributed a great deal of it in my life, much of it deservedly so.

          how amusing, a toilet seat with a use by date...
          very observant of you, I would assume that was just their manufacturing batch number
          and hope, I made a lucky pick, lol
          fun read Andy

            Thank you Mek, yes it probably was a manufactures date but it brought a smile to myself and others which is good.

            What that number means Andy, is that you can use it for 3 minutes at a time only, for a total of 2020 hours. So don't bring a book with you, do your business and get the heck out of there! 🙂

            • Goldfinch60

              What! No book on the loo! That is asking a great deal from me Fred.
