Last two weeks, the word “pushback” has been running through my mind. As in: “Mister President, we’re experiencing significant pushback on extending tax cuts to the rich.”
I hate buzzwords. Pushback is high on my list of buzzwords. But there it is, at the forefront of my consciousness. Why?
And then I remembered a conversation I had with my son two weeks ago, after hashing in Las Vegas.
The conversation was about splashback. As in using a urinal while wearing running shorts and feeling splashback on your naked legs. I had just experienced splashback in the mens’ room at the on-after pub in Las Vegas. My son told me about using the urinals at the Bellagio, which had some sort of lining that prevented splashback.
Now we’re talking! Urinal linings that prevent splashback!
We’re overdue for a major advance in urinal technology, don’t you think?
