    What is it with British hotels not having a phone in the loo?

    Sitting on the throne during my last visit to the UK, I realised I didn't have a newspaper, so I wanted to phone reception and order a copy of the Times.

    But to my shock and discombobulation; no phone!
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      Use your mobile. Phone, not toilet.

        In fact that was true as the ring tone used to work on 60 to 90 volts

          It's not the volts ... it's the amps that get you.

            Let's say there was a phone in the toilet, your going to ask some naive young receptionist to deliver a newspaper to you while sat on the throne while your taking a dump??

              So you want to use a phone in the loo after some other oik has poo-phoned
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                So if I connect 90 volts from an old phone line to your balls; you will not complain.

                    volts make amps.


                    volts is the pressure - like how high your water cistern is
                    resistance - like how open or closed the tap is
                    amps is the flow - the amount that comes out the tap


                    you knew this anyway
