Re: This is a story of a hotel bathroom janitor

An interesting story. Sounds like a Japanese twist of George Washington cutting down a cherry tree to get his football back (because he could not tell a lie - and apparently he could not climb a tree either).

You would have to completely drain the water from a toilet (including the water in the trap) and sterilize it (steam?) to make it sanitary enough to drink from, other wise you could get gastrointestinitous, ecoli, or a number of other infectious diseases

like I said, this sounds like a political/history hero myth/story. Cutting down a cherry tree to get your ball back (instead of climbing it) shows poor judgment, no matter how honest you are

and a good janitor should not need to drink from a toilet to prove to a manager they have a positive attitude.

I like inspirational stories. I like them even more when they are true (or make sense :^) Why wasnt the 65 year old janitor who drank from the toilets every day promoted to prime minister of Japan? After his whole life, he was still a janitor!
