Bathrooms

It's a hot topic.  I know what you are thinking?  Will my roomie ever clean the bathroom?  This is especially a problem for males, students, and young persons.

Well, this is how I got my roomie to polish it all up without threats of violence or the supreme court getting involved.

One day I tacked an envelope to the wall.  On it I wrote "Great American Bathroom Sweepstakes", and wrote in the rules.  Every week, each roomie would put a dollar in the envelope and initial it.   The money was free for the taking to whoever broke down first and cleaned the lou.

I hardly saw my roomie, but he faithfully added a dollar to the envelope each week.  On the 4th week I came back from class to a sparkling bathroom.  My roomie smiled and said "I really needed the money".
