Popehat: I feel old because my equivalent story involves Ayahtollah Khomeini

This reminds me of a very poor decision I made in law school. As is common the urinals in the men’s rooms had writing at the top “1 gpf/3.8 lpf,” meaning each flush consumed 1 gallon or 3.8 liters. So every man was constantly confronted with that conversion. /1

Urinal signs are indicative of some really wild behavior.

My high school urinals had a Osama Bin Laden wanted poster printed on the rubber piss guard thing at the bottom

I feel old because my equivalent story involves Ayahtollah Khomeini

I feel old because my elementary school outhouse had a wanted poster for the dude who kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.

The important thing is that your apologized

My grandparents were detained while driving through New Jersey because they thought my father might be the Lindbergh baby.

I had the Khomeini dartboard.

They were doing construction on a house down the street in 1979 and the construction guys made a giant plaster middle finger that said “fuck Iran.”

The birth episode of Disco Stu!!

Yes, but Disco Stu doesn’t advertise

There was a poster, maybe of Mickey mouse, flipping the bird with the caption "Hey Iran". Saw that every day on a store window walking home from school.

I had an "Ayatollah Assahollah" t-shirt that my parents bought me and let me wear in public

Bought a Khomeini ashtray at a junk sale not long ago. The original owner had forgotten who it was and kept calling him bin Laden.

I wish I was at the office so I could share a picture of my bumper sticker saying "Saddam Hussein went to Carolina" that was popular when I was at Duke. It has a cartoon of Saddam in a UNC sweatshirt.

When in fact

How many liters is an Ayahtollah Khomeini?

My favorite part of Mad Magazine was when they tore down an Ayatollah I was completely unfamiliar with. All I knew was he had it coming

My local paper printed a dart board with his photo and the caption "Poke a holah in the Ayahtollah."

You remember the remix of the Beach Boys to "Bomb, Bomb Ira-a-aaaaaaan", right?

McCain did a callback to it decades later, what a scamp
