Washroom for the Super Handicaped.

So today while attending class at Begnani Hall, the new addition to Trail College, I had to take a mean leak. Attempting to do so by getting myself to the nearest washroom I was suprised to see that the door on this new mens facility had no lock. "No bother" i thought, proceeding to unzip my pants and drain the main vein. to my suprise i realized that, just as the door had no lock, the urinal had no handle to flush with. Looking around in utter dismay I noticed a huge red button on the wall beside me, with the word "LOCK" sternly printed in bold type above it. Aha. I proclaimed. I pressed the button and the door locked behind me. I also noticed a small string to the left of this button, with the words "ALARM" in the same type printed above it. Not as daring as I was with the button I decided against pulling the string, but I was startled even further, when upon turning around I noticed my face was all skinny and cramped looking in the mirror behind me. Surely I am not this skinny, I announced to myself. It was a mirror for people who are in wheelchairs and struggle to see themselves in regular ones. Upon leaving the bathroom, and pondering the connection between the strange button, the string, and the mirror, it hit me as the door closed. I noticed a large blue handicap sign on the door as it shut. Infact the largest sign I have ever seen. Alas. I have discovered its meaning. A bathroom for the super-handicapped.
