There's also a warning I've noticed recently on the never-ending towel
dispensers in public bathrooms enjoining the user from sticking his
head in the loop of towels and hanging himself.  (Not having been in a
public women's bathroom for a while, I can only assume that this will
apply in theory to women, too, though I'd hope that half the species
would be smarter than that.)

Gee, I dunno, though: I think you gotta be a special kind of stupid to
intentionally hang yourself in a bathroom from the towel dispenser.
