I went to a public restroom, paid my 10 lira, and went into... a room with a trench in the middle and tile all around.

I... tried my best. Results were... not good.

I quickly walked out after and grabbed my wife's arm. She saw the look on my face and figured out that we needed to go.

"Hon?..." she began.

I cut her off:

"Let us never speak of this bathroom break again."
