Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 31, 2021

And of course you don’t have change

This is why Hell is described as “Damnation without relief”.

It’s Hell. Just “leave it” wherever you are and make it hell for the others.

You still need to go in the afterlife?

Pay toilets aren’t surprising. Given the panic during the pandemic, the truly hellish thing would be those potties having no toilet paper.

Which gas stations? I haven’t seen a pay toilet for decades.

A Robert Heinlein character from the future noted, in passing, that during the late 20th century, strangely, service stations were a store to sell petroleum distillates for use as fuel in individual transportation devices.

At least we outlawed pay toilets in Chicago about 50 years ago.

Hissing on the fires of Hell.

A local restaurant owner installed a keypad to enter the restroom, but you have to ask him for the 4 digit code!!!

He’s a guy, so at least he can just wiz on the flames.

You’re already naked, why not try to put out some of the flames?

“The is no rest (or restrooms) for the … … ones who end up here.”

Doorstep collection

And still the least of his worries.

I was in a christian fundamentalist cult that preached there is no hell. I learned later that I was already in hell…theirs. Luckily, I got out. I have hated religions ever since. I still believe in god. Just not the gods of religiosity. Especially the ones on TV.

boy, that guy’s gotta be pissed…

Hmmm… a rerun of the old TV show “The Streets of San Francisco”. Explains a lot about the current state of things there now.

Love Wiley’s views of Hell.

Whoever and wherever, pot or not. have a great new year all.

You’re in Hell, pee on the coals.

The downside of Satanic capitalism.

It’s more likely you are welcomed to a sticky, dark room with a door that doesn’t close all the way…

One of the main reasons pay toilets were phased out was that they discriminated against women as the urinals in mens’ room were free.

Happy New years to all! Please be safe and be well! ;^)

If a gas station doesn’t let me use the bathroom, I don’t use that gas station.

so that’s what the two coins are for!

I’d of thought they got the idea from Disney Land. Of course, with Disney licensing being what it is, perhaps not.

I don’t remember ever having to pay for a bathroom at a gas station

I haven’t seen a pay toilet in decades, has anyone else seen one in the wild in the last 40 years?

Let it go over the edge of the ledge, it is Hell you know.

Reminds me of the second verse of “Here I sit, broken hearted…”

A bit of trivia, since nobody asked. The first pay toilets may have been the ones introduced by Vespasian in Rome in 74 A.D. Not mechanized, of course; an attendant was standing by to take the fee and let you in. No word on whether Vespasian had gotten the idea from Satan.

When someone told the emperor that this was an undignified way for the government to raise money, he said “money doesn’t stink”.

Exact change only.

At least it isn’t a key with something like a car tire attached to it.

You suppose it’s related to that persistent odor near the door.

I saw that a lot more in airports than gas stations.

And let’s hear a huge round of applause for the people who made it illegal!

THAT IS HE**!

Here I sit all broken hearted paid a quarter to poop and only farted.

It’s Hell! Just plotz where you are! Who’s gonna notice?

Been to a lot of rest rooms in many states but never had to pay to use a loo in any of them. is this something new?

I think in airports where pay toilets used to be notorious, by law there had to be a free one. Of course the old joke was it had a dead body on it.

Even when you’re gone, you have to go.

There’s a perfectly good cliff to pee off of.

happy HEALTHY new year everyone

These are guys. Just pee into the abyss.

Just hang it over the side.

Highly doubtful such a place exists, but if it did, I suspect you don’t eat or drink so there would not be a need for a bathroom. Thinking is such a chore.

I’ve never seen such a thing. I’m 36.

Who came back and told the gas station owners about it?

So, you’re in Hell.If you hold it in, what’s it gonna do? Kill you ? If you can’t hold it, then what ? You’ll die of embarrassment ?

Just do it on the floor. What’re they gonna do — send you to hell?

I’m old enough to remember having to pay for a stall in women’s restrooms in public buildings. If you had a small kid with you that could slide under the door you had it made, otherwise we just held the door open for the next person. I bet the men’s urinals didn’t have coin slots! Women senators and Reps finally won their own bathroom near the floor, now with changing table for baby. Progress creeps slowly.

Here I sit, broken hearted. Paid my dime and only farted.

Graffiti:“Here I sit, broken hearted.“Paid my coin, and only farted.”

I’m in complete agreement with those commenting on the absurdity of worrying over this scenario when you’re already in Hell. I also doubt that if you somehow managed to get some coins, you would find appropriate and accommodating facilities on the other side of the door.

Happy New Year, one and all!

Hell in comics (and Dante’s Inferno in the Divine Comedy, etc.), is far more interesting than the real thing.

perfect commentary for dumpster fire year #2…heavy sigh

And it takes Zimbabwean dollars only.
