Embarrassed Sneaking
At the end of the job (what a squeeze!)
I looked round with a growing unease.
The roll was all gone,
So to the next john
I advanced with my pants round my knees.
The paperless office does exist. It's best to find out before you start the work -- saves all that listening for a quiet moment and embarrassed sneaking.

VirJournal updates! All these hysterical limericks, just as we (your ever-growing Internet audience) have come to look forward to! This one, for some reason, was particularly amusing. It caused immediate nasolactation (the violent expulsion of milk through the nose, and all over the monitor).
Unfortunately this one is a factual record of today's incident. There's a sinking feeling when one reaches for the fully enclosed paper roll and finds it to be completely empty. I looked around, but there were no spare rolls.
I waited until I could hear no noise, then dashed from one cubical to the next -- one hand to open the doors, the other to hold my half-mast trousers. Just as I entered the second cubical I heard the squeak of the main door opening. Phew! Not a moment to spare.
Don't worry, old bean--it happens to the best of us. I once did something even sillier: unwittingly, I used the last square to wipe my nose, then had nothing left for, well, the usual purpose of bogroll. Another time, my flatmate left the seat up and I fell in. On another occasion still, I took off my coat to avoid getting the tails in the toilet water, and promptly dropped the whole THING in the bowl.
Toilets are just embarrassing moments waiting to happen. Folks who have the courage and wit to translate said embarrassments into amusing limericks for the rest of us to enjoy, well, they're just TOILET HEROES.
Virgil Keys, toilet hero. Hum. It sounded better in my head, really.
:D
I shall stand proud as did toilet heroes from times past:

Man, you ought to be getting paid for this stuff--you always have me in STITCHES! You're hilarious!
