Not too long ago, I was able to take a quick road trip with a pastor. The sun was shining, the traffic was light, the conversation was pleasant - things were going well. We then decided to stop for food and a restroom break when, much to my delight, I noticed this hand-dryer in the restroom.
Realize, this is no ordinary hand-dryer; this is the "push button, receive bacon" hand-dryer from my youth. Years ago, someone scribbled those four glorious words on a restroom hand-dryer and a magic bathroom-bacon-dispenser was born. From that moment on, I could never "unsee" that wonderful graffiti. So, I did what any normal person would do: I chuckled, took out my phone, and proceeded to take a picture of it.
Just then, the pastor walks in and sees me taking a picture. He stops, is silent for a moment, and then asks, "Adam, do I need to be concerned that you are taking pictures in the men's restroom?" I wanted to explain the humor and the nostalgia behind the picture, but in a move that made the situation a bit more awkward, all I could do was point to the hand-dryer and say, "It's bacon."
So while it was great to find an iconic image from my past, unfortunately it was also the last time I was asked to take a road trip. For your enjoyment, here is that glorious picture and may those wonderful words of graffiti, "push button, receive bacon" be forever etched upon the walls of your heart.
