Streeter Will Not Be Back

The men's washrooms at the Fox Theatre, after a kickass screening of The Terminator. A nerdy guy in his late thirties is trying to strike up a conversation with the middle-aged man using the urinal next to his.

Nerdy Guy: You know that part when the human comes in?

Middle-Aged Man: Which human?

Nerdy Guy: The guy, Kyle Reese. A stuntman had to fall six metres onto the concrete.

Middle-Aged Man: (wondering where this is going) Uh-huh?

Nerdy Guy: He had to fall, he had to actually do it.

Middle-Aged Man: Okay.

The Middle-Aged Man quickly zips himself up and darts for the sink.

The (public) washroom is sacred ground and should never be polluted by the human voice.

I believe that's just a fraction more than 19 feet, 8 inches.
