Bill Weld went on a boondoggle "trade mission" to Ireland, back in 93-94. The Speaker of the House Tom Flaherty, went along.

They were leaving one pub for another and Flaherty couldn't find Weld. Someone told Flaherty that Weld was in the bathroom. Flaherty found him and told him to hurry up. Weld said, "I have to wash my hands, first. Didn't they teach you to wash your hands after going to the bathroom when you went to BC"?

Flaherty replied, "At BC, they taught us not to pee on our hands when we went to the bathroom".

I know that wasn't the bathroom humor you asked about, but it's the best I can do.
Mike Matarazzo was an Everett treasure. So sad to hear of his passing. I’m still looking forward to reading his book published several years ago
