I rolled out a new presentation recently titled “Outhouses, Privies, and Toilets of the World.” Whenever you debut a new presentation you have fingers crossed in hopes it will go well. And it did. I was extremely pleased with the reaction of the audience at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. I was a little concerned because the subject matter was a little on the gross side at times. However, I did balance that with humor; so it worked. I focused on India, Nigeria, Bolivia, ancient Rome, medieval Europe and ended up with the high tech toilets of Japan. I even wore one of my Nigerian shirts to set the mood.
