Jerry Garcia's Missing Toilet

This is my 30th post. What better way to celebrate this milestone than to discuss Jerry Garcia's missing toilet. Apparently (according to FOXNews.com) the salmon-coloured can was sold to an online casino for $2,550. Now the casino is offering $250 as a reward for the missing loo. I reckon they, like their customers, are just flushing more money down the chair. But then again, this is the same casino that paid "$25,000 for William Shatner's kidney stone and $28,000 for a grilled cheese sandwich that reportedly had the image of the Virgin Mary on it" - so I suppose this was a bargain.

Oddly, this story is stranger than it sounds because, you see, the dunny was stolen from a driveway. Now, who goes and buys a lav for $2,550 and then leaves it in the driveway? For goodness sakes. After all, this near-priceless porcelain throne was the subject of a legal wrangle and, yet, was left unguarded. Just the sort of thing to attract any passing potty pilferer.

I wonder if one can get insurance on a famous WC, like one could get insurance on a famous painting.

Insured: I can't believe that you are charging that much to insure my thunderbox!
Insurer: Sorry, ma'am. Since Jerry's john was nicked, powder room, bathroom, restroom, latrine, conveniences and outhouse insurance have all risen sharply. However, I can offer you a lower premium if you agree to fit an alarm to the seat.

The funny thing is that I have a Spanish-made retrete sitting at the entrance to my house - don't we all? The truth is that we are about to do renovations and our commode has been patiently waiting by the front door to be installed in it's proper place. The difference here is that mine only cost a fraction of what Jerry's did, but should I be worried that my privy will go walkabout?

And, yes, the whole point of this blog was a challenge to see how many different polite synonyms I could use to describe "the room without a mezuzah" or the item found within. I count 21 (or 20 without the Spanish translation).
