Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

I like enough water pressure in the shower so I don't have to use a lot of soap. As long as there isn't enough pressure to remove the skin I am fine.
Well, maybe that top 'dead' layer...
I have done this for years to every new showerhead we get.
On our last Family Trip to California, the first hotel we stayed at had the most miserable water pressure I have experienced in quite some time.
So, I purchased a cheapo hand-held showerhead and removed the evil flow restrictor. I then replaced the hotel showerhead with the modded one, water pressure issue solved.
That cheapo showerhead will always travel with us from now on.
I’ve said for years that we need an ironic/joking/wink-wink/bustin’ your chops/takin’ the piss font around here!

By His Noodley Appendages, there are typographical scofflaws who should never be permitted access to any tool more powerful than an IBM Selectric.
California seems to have the strictest regulation. Family couldn’t buy anything but a low flow toilet there. They found old style regular full flush ones in New York but they couldn’t find a retailer that would ship the product to California. They got their kids in NY to buy them and they shipped them to CA.

When my older sister said she wanted to buy a motorcycle, our father said, Sure! But first, you're coming with me to work at the hospital (physical rehab), and I'll introduce you to some of my patients — just your age.
Hey, delighted to introduce any typographical adventurers to a few typesetters who learned their craft on a Linotype machine. Same thing

Publishers have lost sight of the fact that their products are supposed to be read. Everything’s getting smaller. Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should.

One of the things publishers lost control over (IMO) is the medium. No way to tell who will read what on what device, at what resolution. Who can tell if the material will be read on a Kindle, or smrtphn, or printed with someone's prehistoric dot matrix printer? It's a long, slow slide to typographical perfidy.
Great! Ya got one for fixin' a low flow toilet?
Those things don't do ... uh, squat ... with older sewer systems. 
Double, or triple, yer flushin' to regain yer fun!

There ya go. Fixed it for ya!
Also, TB's Forum Rule #1 says, in part, " ... Because of the limitations of text-based communication, the expression of intent can be tricky. One of the most common triggers of rule violations is the misinterpretation of intent behind a post. Use smilies often, and remember, it never hurts to begin a response with "In my opinion"..."

I’m always looking for a better way to do things.

Flush twice. It's a long way to the mess hall.
