When will someone take a stand against all the boogers? That’s what I wanna know. That is also what Louisville Metro Planning and Design Services manager Joe Reverman wants to know, reports Joe Sonka of Insider Louisville. Reverman has had it up to here with all these damn boogers…. “We have recently discovered mass quantities of boogers on the two walls around the urinal in the 3rd floor men’s restroom,” wrote Reverman. “I sincerely hope this is not a result of actions by any member of Planning & Design Services. This is obviously a very serious situation. Anybody caught doing this could face disciplinary action. We will have this area cleaned, however this is very embarrassing to our department to have this problem. Please keep a look out and let me know if you see any suspicious activity.”
People are homeless. People are hungry. People are poor, sick, and uninsured. Given those realities, don’tcha think that someone worrying about boogers on a wall in a men’s restroom leads a fairly charmed existence. Not to make light of those who are deeply offended by the presence or mere mention of boogers, but I’d have to think that on the long list of social ills in desperate need of attention and resolution, boogers ranks pretty far down the priority scale.
“Anybody caught doing this could face disciplinary action?” Really?? While I’d certainly agree that mature adults shouldn’t be acting like 7th graders lacking a fully developed prefrontal cortex, perhaps those who can act like adults might figure out how to address the problem short of histrionics.
If you want to tackle a problem, how about helping people get off the streets or serving Thanksgiving dinner at a homeless shelter?
