How many archivists does it take to clean a toilet?

God I wish that were the start of a bad joke. But I honestly don't think the bathroom at the Archives Nationales has been cleaned once since I've started working there, and it's getting pretty damn nasty.

Who knew scholars could be such foul people? Maybe they just want to get a sense of what pre-sewer France smelled like - you know, like a historical reenactment. Only disgusting.

Do you think they expect those highly-educated archivists to clean their own toilets!?!? :-o
