Ha. Reminds me of a summer job I had right after High School. Worked for this place called Bell Supply, but we all called it Hell Supply. Typical plumbing and HVAC supply place. We stacked pipe, loaded water heaters, tubs, showers, and toilets into the warehouse, and pulled things for deliveries. There were maybe 4 or 5 of us hired for Summer help, and I guess they let the warehouse go to shite all year and used the few months of cheap labor to get it back in order every June. We were basically emptying shelves, and putting things back in a decent manner. This was summer of 1999, and we came across some old toilets and there was a date stamp on there from the mid-80s. Asked the boss if we should toss them or put them back. He said open them up and if they're broken, chunk them in the dumpster, but if they were still good, put all the old stuff in this one corner of the place. There were yellow ones, green ones, and blue ones, along with some black and white ones. The blue was this light powder blue, similar to the Chargers powder blue uniforms. Some guy said it looked like it belonged in the background of a 70s porno, so the rest of the summer we of course referred to that as the porno blue toilet.
