This is not the first bathroom humor post at ATP.
“Long” and “Short” Toilet is, of course, English Translation, or maybe Pinglish, for “Barra” and “Chota” Peshaab. I am not going to explain what that means here. If you do not know, just move on to another post.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Funny.
Also, this must be the best deal in town.
Any idea about how clean and usable the facilities might be?
On a serious note, and it is serious given the majority of Pakistanis who have to use these toilets, even Rs. 2 is dirt cheap. In Islamabad and Lahore, dirtiest public toilets charge 10 Rs for Bara and 5 for chota. And yes, they do charge for the big one if y0u spend more than a couple of minutes, irrespective of what you actually did inside. The time limit might have been 5 min in some locations after which they charge for the big one.
Ayesha, when you pay for long you get to do short free of charge.
One wonders if someone does the long one and comes out to pay for the short one to save a rupee.
