a delicate question...

... to you good people of the US. Would a fifty year old man (mentioning no names *g*) say 'I need to go to the bathroom'? Or would he say something like 'I need to take a leak - have a piss' or something like that? I know all sorts of UK alternatives but not American. Any help gratefully received :)

I would want to add to this that if the fifty year old was from, say, Minnesota or elsewhere in the Northern US, he'd say washroom. The South uses Restroom, and you can say that in a house and no one will look at your oddly.
