    Funny how men who pick up streetwalkers are named after toilets.

    I think its the other way around.

    They’re not. The term “john” as a customer has the same derivation as “John Doe” - a generic name for any man. “John” as a name for toilet is an Americanization of the phrase “I have to go see my friend Jack” meaning use a toilet.

    Jack for a toilet makes no sense. They were named Johns after Prince John of Robin Hood fame, for being so evil.
