At first glance
On a recent visit to the sunshine state, california, i got down at Sanfranscisco. Supposedly at the forefront of progressive thought, my perception of SFO is predominantly based on common cultural notions (South park et al :p). I enter the restroom and find paper towels and hand dryer and guess which one was most used. So much for all the buzz about being tree huggers.
And, on a nice morning just towards the end of spring break, my wife and i were visiting Pittsburgh. Just as we got onto I-99, i had a great urge to visit Tyrone. It is a really beautiful place and looks spectacular (in all seasons) as you drive past it. We stopped at Burger King and i paid my regular visit to the restroom. These guys also had both paper towels and dryer and i was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone was using the dryer. So much for being low key and still thoughtful. I was reminded of the age old truism that empty vessels make more noise. I used the dryer and was about to exit, when i noticed that the towel dispenser was infact empty.

hehe.. also note that.. they could have just put in a new set of paper towels so you wouldn't know the difference :)
Funny..do not criticize SFO based on 1 observation..if you dont know this..they are the only city in the country to have banned plastic bags from grocery stores!!
...and even if they did not follow everything they preach..they are only being HYPOCRITE..and remember I have already established the fact that its OK to be the same..still waiting for a discussion with you on this topic
If you were in India you would have never had to apply your mind of inane topics like this ;)
@kk - chepta detail ga aagu
@pointy - point to note is SFO airport is not representative of SFO at all..since most people there are not from SFO.Right? So..the demographic(not sure thats the write word!) also matters when people make up stuff like this
@rohan - dude..not too far away..not too far. Delhi is probably already there..where are you these days..will catch up on the weekend..got your stupid voice message..wth man!
