WAYNE'S WORLD
Tulsa World reporter Curtis Killman had a good story in Monday’s paper , looking at how the state’s voting population ...
My Sunday column hit a nerve with school teachers who: objected to merit pay as unfair; said the nationally low level ...
It’s hard not to love Markwayne Mullin.
Disagree with freshman Republican congressman all you want on policy, but when ...
I hope U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin doesn’t mind me telling this story.
The Second District Republican came to visit the Tulsa World editorial board last week. I met him at the elevator and was going to escort him into the meeting, but he said he needed to use the restroom first, so I showed him where the restroom was.
For weeks one of the urinals in the Tulsa World restroom has been beeping when you stand in front of it. It’s been the subject of a lot of jokes among male employees — That NSA snooping is really going too far now ... I think this urinal is trying to hook up with my cell phone....
When Mullin came out of the restroom, he told me our urinal need a new battery.
What?
The urinal beeps when you stand in front of it. That means its battery is low, he said.
The urinal has a battery?
Sure, it operates the automatic flushing device. It fits in on the back.
He may have offered to show me where the battery case was. I told him we’d have someone fix it.
And we did.
I told the managing editor we might be getting a consultation bill from Mullin Plumbing.
