Thin Red Line

So there I was, in the men's room in an office building in Georgetown, and there was a red line taped down to the floor in front of the urinal. I spent a long time pondering this. Days later, I'm still pondering it. Was it a snide hint from the janitor that people need to stand closer? Doubt it, because it's actually too far away from the urinal to be a proper free-throw line.
