My dear visitors.
I spend quite some time of my life wondering about things...
... Like why are there directions for use like the following one in
British restrooms ?
... Or about the inequity of magnificient
shortbread being full of fat compared to, let's say fennel tea.
But back to the restroom: A secret that I
have not been able to solve since I returned from the UK Memory
Championship a week ago is this one:

Before leaving a restroom at Heathrow airport I became
aware of a label above the lid. It said that in case you need to interrupt
the already working toilet flush you have to press a certain button.
And yes, that's my problem!
WHY
would
someone
need
such a button?
Your ideas are most welcome to me! And they
do not need to be realistic.
The more creative they are, the better!
My favorite creative solutions are from
competitors of the Mind Sports Olympiad in the UK. On their website
www.msoworld.com
there is a nice collection of former contributions.

Question: "Describe
the consequences of the discovery of a sea of chocolate on Mars."
Answer by a contestant:
"Slimmers cross Mars off their list of holiday venues."
Or vice versa:
Given answer:
"If the answer is 179084, what was the question?"
Contestant:
"Your birthday's the 17th of September 1984; what on earth did you type in
that caused the computer to crash?"
It's YOUR turn...
please write me why people would need
such a button.
Every answer which I consider to be both, clever and clean will be
published on this site and the best answer will receive plenty of hono(u)r
by your interrotagor
