A LITTLE

BATHROOM HUMOR

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVERBELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU

READ IN A

CAMPAIGN MAILER

OR

Page 2: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

The SF Rec and Park Department wants

to bulldoze all the grass at the Beach

Chalet Soccer Fields and put in 7 acres of

artificial turf and 150,000 watts of

stadium lighting --- destroying the habitat

and beauty of the western end of Golden

Gate Park, next to Ocean Beach.

Page 3: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

This environmentally-

damaging project is budgeted

at $14 million, including a

$475,000 restroom

renovation!

Wow!

Must be some restroom!

Page 4: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Didn’t I just get something in

the mail about that restroom?

Where is that

stack of

campaign

mailers . . . . .

Page 5: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Here is the campaign mailer!

What a scary looking place!

No wonder no one “wants to use” it ---

BUT WAIT ---

we were just out at the fields, AND…

Page 6: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

This is what the restroom looks like today!

What happened?

Page 7: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

The restroom

today.

the campaign

mailer!

W T F ??????

Page 9: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Was the restroom on the political flyer

caught in a time warp?

This could be scary – go into a restroom

today and end up in 1998 – or whenever

that photo was taken. . . . .

Page 10: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Hey – if that restroom

does time travel, AND

if I were to use that

restroom and emerge

(refreshed), would I

also be years younger?

Me – Contemplating life

choices if I use the

Beach Chalet restroom.

Page 11: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Decision made – I’ll “go” for it …….

Page 12: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Me -- after using

the Beach Chalet

restroom.

Pretty cool, huh!

Like, totally

awesome!

Page 13: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

This could work – and what a great revenue

generator for Rec and Park!

THE

BEACH CHALET RESTROOM EXPERIENCE-YOU NOT ONLY FEEL YOUNGER --

YOU ARE YOUNGER!

Page 14: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

OK, calm down.

With my new, younger

brain, it occurs to me

that perhaps there are

other reasons that no

one “wants to use”

that restroom.

Hm-m-m-m

Page 15: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

What could it be?

Hey, let’s all think about this hard!

Are you thinking about this?

Page 16: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Eureka! We have it!

Page 17: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Could this be

the reason

no one

“wants to

use” this

restroom?

Page 18: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Let’s look at

this sign more

closely --

Page 19: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

Now we know!

No one “wants to use”

the restroom because –

THEY CAN’T GET IN!

. . . . Unless Rec and Park

unlocks it for them.

. . . . Unless you have a

permit.

. . . . . And for adults -

Unless you have paid for

a permit.

Page 20: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

SF Rec and Park – always creative with

ways to squeeze every penny out of our

[used-to-be-public] park system and

park users --has come up with a new

policy for revenue generation -

* PRESENTING THE *

BEACH CHALET RESTROOM EXPERIENCE

Pay to Pee (or “GO” somewhere else…..)

Page 21: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

(And if you don’t

have the funds or a

permit, there is

always Ocean

Beach…..)

Page 22: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

MORAL:

Campaign literature can say ANYTHING!

LESSON:

Know the facts before you vote!

Page 23: A little bathroom humor  - A Tale of the Beach Chalet Athletic Fields Restrooms

This message was created by volunteers and is donated to the Yes on H

and No on I campaign for the purpose of saving Golden Gate Park.

FACT: The Beach Chalet Fields (and the

restroom) can be renovated with real

grass and NO stadium lighting for a few

million dollars, and the rest of the funding

can be used to fix up fields for kids all

over San Francisco!
