Why would the bathroom be a example of smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Without more context it is difficult to say but public restrooms have a sorting mechanism at the front that divide boys and girls into different doors, and then move them into stalls until the bodily functions are complete, and then to the sinks to wash their hands (I hope!) before finally leaving. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) performs this sort of sorting all of the time, though the fecal aspect of bathrooms seems a better match for rough ER. You could say though, that the ER allows certain processes to take place in private instead of having to be exposed to the commotion of the more public spaces in a cell.

Why hormones can contact virtually all the cells of your body yet only activate the appropiate target cells?
