## III. THE GREAT PORCELAIN REPUBLIC
We envision a new society founded upon three principles:
Liberté. Égalité. Putté.
The first principle is liberty: the freedom to choose one's club.
The second is equality: the recognition that a wealthy duke and a confused man in slippers are mathematically equal once the ball begins rolling.
The third is putting: the eternal struggle between intention and physics.
Under the old regime, the toilet was an instrument of necessity.
Under the new regime, it shall be an instrument of precision.
Every bathroom shall possess, where practicable, a designated putting lane.
Every citizen shall receive, upon reaching maturity, one putter, three balls, and a solemn warning concerning the backsplash.
Children shall learn geometry through the study of break.
Mathematics shall be taught through stroke count.
Philosophy shall be reduced to a single question:
“Did you leave it short?”

## IV. AGAINST THE ARISTOCRACY OF THE PERFECT GREEN
We especially condemn the bourgeois obsession with the perfect putting surface.
The professional golfer demands immaculate grass.
The toilet golfer demands only truth.
A carpet stain is not an imperfection.
It is terrain.
A bathmat is not an obstruction.
It is a bunker.
A laundry basket is not clutter.
It is an architectural hazard placed there by Providence.
A crooked tile is not defective construction.
It is a break.
Thus does the toilet golfer discover what the country-club golfer has forgotten:
The world itself is the course.
There is no bad green.
There are merely greens that have not yet been conquered.

## V. THE REVOLUTION SHALL BE FOUR-PAR
Let the old order tremble.
Let the clubhouse committees clutch their scorecards.
Let the men in pastel trousers stare helplessly into the middle distance.
The Great Toilet Golfers’ Revolt shall proceed according to the sacred laws of Four-Par Revolutionary Golf.
First stroke: the Approach.
Second stroke: the Reckoning.
Third stroke: the Desperate Correction.
Fourth stroke: the Putt of Destiny.
Should the ball enter the cup in four strokes, the citizen shall be declared Champion of the Porcelain Republic.
Should it enter in three, he shall be granted a title.
Should it enter in two, he shall be suspected of witchcraft.
Should it enter in one, the Republic shall immediately convene an emergency parliamentary investigation.

## VI. THE TOILET GOLFER SHALL NOT BE SILENCED
They will mock us.
They will call us ridiculous.
They will say:
“Why are you golfing in the bathroom?”
To which we respond:
Why are you not?
They will say:
“Where is your dignity?”
We answer:
“Currently assessing the break.”
They will say:
“This is not what bathrooms are for.”
And we shall reply with the ancient revolutionary wisdom:
“That is precisely what the aristocracy wants you to believe.”

## VII. THE FINAL DECLARATION
Citizens of the porcelain frontier!
The hour has arrived.
Rise from your couches.
Retrieve your putters.
Survey your bathrooms with new eyes.
See not plumbing, but possibility.
See not porcelain, but sovereignty.
See not a drain, but destiny.
The Great Toilet Golfers’ Revolt is not a movement against bathrooms.
It is a movement for imagination.
It is the refusal to accept that an object must remain imprisoned within the narrow definition assigned to it by tradition.
The toilet shall become a cup.
The hallway shall become a fairway.
The bathmat shall become a hazard.
The mop shall become an opponent.
And the humble citizen, once merely a resident of the house, shall become Golfeur, Philosophe, Révolutionnaire.
Let the bells ring.
Let the porcelain gleam.
Let the balls roll magnificently toward their appointed destiny.
And when, at last, the final putt falls into the cup, let every citizen raise his club toward the heavens and proclaim:
“Vive la République! Vive le Golf!
AND MAY THE BEST TOILET WIN.” >>25115571
