Rant of the day:

Ever been in a public restroom and seen the paper towel dispenser? Yeah, of course. But have you really looked it over, gotten to know it, spent some true "quality" time together? No. But I have. My only question is, why the hell is there an (clearly labeled, mind you) 'emergency feed' dial on the side? What possible situation could require an emergency supply of the lousy, non absorbent lumber they call paper towels? 'Ye GODS, the hand dryers are all broken! Get me paper towels, STAT! What?! The regular lever is out of order? We'll have to use the (GULP!) EMERGENCY FEED!!!'
Really, now. Someone needs to get the paper towel dispenser manufacturers of America a dictionary and a thesaurus. Maybe a voice comes over the restroom intercom once a month, "This is a test of the emergency restroom situation system. 'FLUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!' Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been given instructions to report to the nearest paper towel dispenser and use the 'Emergency Feed' dial on the side to ensure a steady supply line from the roll to your hands. This was only a test."
