Toilet Humour

One day recently at I wandered through the Cotton building, it nearly came to past that I entered a door marked "Toilet-Men".

Being of the male gender this in it self would not have been unusual. However, alto marked on this door wat a large inscription asserting that "Staff Only" were to enter.

At tome point later (having found and used a convenient stairwell) I wat moved to ponder on what manner of beast these staff things are that are found immortalited upon toilet doors (on the outtide).

Some people who keep animals are known to have cat-dog doort attached to their abodes, to facilitate the passage of said types.

Could it then be that these staff things are some manner of University pet, housed, ted, and looked after by the students perhaps?

It then occured to me that at with Massey which has a student dog club, and Lincoln which has an all rams' ewe club, we here at Victoria are privileged to house on the third floor Rankine Brown, a Staff Club!

Many has been the hour when I have pondered at to the nature of the being performing before us at the bottom of the lecture hall, and now to know that it has been classified and indexed in the best scientific tradition, only brings a great burst of relief.

Now I wonder whether or not it could be arranged by the staff of this learned journal that its pages be opened to carry identikit pictures of the different breeds of staff. Outlining the harmless breeds (English Novel Lecturer 18th Centuary), and the not so harmless (Thomarse a Iaughus Legal Beagal), and so on.

Indeed perhaps over capping we could have the capping controller (who ever s/he is) organise a "staff show" so that we can all judge en masse the pedigree of this beast that inhabits toilets marked "staff only"
