I published another post today (see “Is This Really Necessary?”) which posed the question about the necessity of posting a sign instructing one to keep his or her hands out of the toilet.

Fortunately, the above-mentioned toilet was equipped with a tool that made the use of one’s hands unnecessary.

Of course, I assume this tool was intended to retrieve cloths and wipes from the toilet (although why this should be necessary is a mystery to me). Use of this tool to retrieve cloths and wipes from anywhere else would undoubtedly be a painful proposition.
