The Sign on the Door

 

Welcome to America 2025, Len.

As normal conventions would have it, I was recently in a movie theater.   When the picture finished, I did what I normally do upon exit.

Pee.

Standing at the urinal, I was by myself.   Suddenly, the door swings open and in enters a girl somewhere in her 30s.   She was not very attractive but unmistakably a female.   She stood at the basin and washed her hands.  

Finished with my business, I walked over to another basin.   Our eyes met and she must have noticed my look of confusion.   She smiled and shrugged.  

On the way out, I looked at the sign on the door.

Men.

But, here in 2025, signs mean nothing.  This chick went into the men's room and did what she wanted.  

I thought about this all on the way home.  Suppose I had walked away from the urinal and zipped up at the same time.   If she had seen something, would I have been charged with inappropriate exposure.  Could she have made me into a criminal?   Was that her intent?   Or did she just want to wash some caramel corn off her hands?

I'll never know.   Nor do I want to.   After all, this is America 2025, Len.

Dinner last night:  Had a big lunch so nothing much.
