To: Hebrews 11:6

In nursing, we have an acronym for “Activities Of Daily Living”, called “ADL’s”. This includes bathing, teeth-brushing, dressing, hair care, and general grooming.

Unfortunately the French word for ADL’s is “Toilette” from which we get the English word “Toilet”, the famous bathroom fixture that goes by more rude names because of its function.

Unfortunately Victorian Artists still used the word “Toilet” to mean “ADL’s”, thus creating hilarity among art students to this very day.

Art students are easily amused, it seems, perhaps part of what appears to be a general lowering of standards, if their predilection for soft-porn is any indication (seems like Alba complained about that recently, or perhaps Pat or Debbie). A libertine bunch...but don’t take that personally!
