Pay Toilet

As other cyclists know, one processes a lot of food to keep the legs pumping.  And one "library session" a day may not be enough.  At the top of Klaussenpass, I sought out a toilet at the summit restaurant:  it costs 1 franc (about $1) to use the toilet I was told.  I settled in, secure in the knowledge that one need not rush when paying $1 for toilet privileges, but 3 min. later the lights went out and I sat in pitch darkness.  Apparently, the charge is $1 for 3 min.  This presented several potential difficulties, as you might imagine.  Luckily, I didn`t have to solve them because Patron No. 2 entered a couple minutes later and the lights came on, providing me with a free 3 min.  It was the deal of the day!
